KRX Plans to Launch a New Index Called 'KOSPI 200 Top 10'

<p>Korea's local sector ETFs do not usually attract the spotlight as most of them are pretty insignificant in AUM. But a few sector index-mirroring ETFs are quite different. They are as hot as the flagship KOSPI 200-tracking ETFs.</p><p>The secondary battery sector ETFs are these exceptions. The extreme popularity of the secondary battery sector-ETFs bodes well for the level of investor interest sitting on the sector itself.</p><h2>How hot are they really?</h2><div>
<p>For instance, let's look at the KRX K-New Deal Index.</p>
<p>It has one mother index named the KRX BBIG K-New Deal Index, under which there are four sub-indices. BBIG stands for Battery, Bio, Internet, and Game, representing the four sectors that the New Deal initiative features.</p>
<div>
<p>The main index contains 12 large-cap stocks, three of which are from each of the four sectors. We then have four sub-indices, one for each sector. Each sub-index has 10 constituents, selected mainly based on the full market capitalization.</p>
<p>The mother index has three ETFs, and each of the four sub-indices has one ETF. The mother index's combined AUM stands at ₩529.2B at the last close. But the sub-index for the secondary battery has a total of ₩812.8B in AUM, substantially more than the mother index and simply incomparable to the other three sub-indices.</p>

Korea's local sector ETFs do not usually attract the spotlight as most of them are pretty insignificant in AUM. But a few sector index-mirroring ETFs are quite different. They are as hot as the flagship KOSPI 200-tracking ETFs.The secondary battery sector ETFs are these exceptions. The extreme popularity of the secondary battery sector-ETFs bodes well for the level of investor interest sitting on the sector itself.How hot are they really?
For instance, let's look at the KRX K-New Deal Index.
It has one mother index named the KRX BBIG K-New Deal Index, under which there are four sub-indices. BBIG stands for Battery, Bio, Internet, and Game, representing the four sectors that the New Deal initiative features.

The main index contains 12 large-cap stocks, three of which are from each of the four sectors. We then have four sub-indices, one for each sector. Each sub-index has 10 constituents, selected mainly based on the full market capitalization.
The mother index has three ETFs, and each of the four sub-indices has one ETF. The mother index's combined AUM stands at ₩529.2B at the last close. But the sub-index for the secondary battery has a total of ₩812.8B in AUM, substantially more than the mother index and simply incomparable to the other three sub-indices.

Passive Flow Estimations of Two TIGER ETFs on SK IE Tech on Rebalancing Implementation Day

<p>The local secondary battery sector ETF rebalancing last Friday made a huge splash on several secondary battery sector big names, including LG Chem. The ETF appeared to have increased LG Chem's index weighting, resulting in a sharp increase in the ordinary share price during the simultaneous buy and buy period 10 minutes before the close last Friday. During this 10-minute period, LG Chem surged from 2.97% to 5.33%.<span> As a result, we now have a substantial disparity in LG Chem 1P vs. Ordinary.</span></p><hr><h2>Sigma on a 20D MA</h2><p>LG Chem 1P vs. Ordinary is at -1.92σ on a 20-day moving average.
