Unlike major IPOs this year such as KakaoBank (323410 KS), SK Bioscience (302440 KS), and SK IE Technology (361610 KS) which had numerous hallmarks of blockbuster positive outcomes post IPO, Hyundai Heavy Industries is a mixed bag, in our view. Despite surging new orders in 1H 2021, it remains to be seen if this is sustainable. There also remain a lot of question marks about the company's profitability as well as higher steel raw material costs, higher interest rates, and the M&amp;A of Daewoo Shipbuilding which may be blocked by regulators in EU/Japan.Even the book building results imply a mixed bag.

It is important to note that these indices consist of only 10 to 12 stocks. In addition, futures of the KRX BBIG mother index and two sub-indices (Secondary Battery and Bio) have been listed and operated since July of this year.
Hence, these indices provide relatively suitable conditions for ETF arbitrage.

In other words, we can aim for arbitrage using an ETF/NAV disparity. In particular, in Korea, we get tax-free benefits (no transaction tax) when selling ETFs.
For this reason, if a disparity rises above -0.25% (equivalent to transaction tax rate), we can consider a classic ETF arb setup.
We buy underlying securities and undergo ETF creation and redemption in the primary and then sell ETFs in the secondary market.

</table><hr><h2>Regarding Krafton's inclusion:</h2><p>Krafton was listed after the review cutoff date (July 31). Nonetheless, KRX decided to include it in this rebalancing. Then, did KRX break its own rule? Well, it did not.</p><p><strong>Here is my explanation which I posted previously, concerning this issue.</strong></p><div class="content-highlight">
<p>First of all, this BBIG index does not have a Fast Entry clause. So, KRX was internally debating whether to apply the review cutoff date to newly listed stocks with large market caps. (This was what I heard from KRX directly.) Since this index has few constituents, if newly listed stocks with large market caps are excluded from the index for nearly six months, the resulting disparity between the index and the actual sector may become too large, and KRX is also concerned about this.</p>
<p>Therefore, KRX said that it would decide on Fast Entry of those stocks with large market caps, such as Krafton, Kakao Pay, and LG Energy Solution, at the time of regular rebalancing in consultation with the ETF operators (Mirae Asset). In the end, it turned out that the outcome of the KRX &amp; Mirae Asset discussion on the Fast Entry of Krafton was Go, which wasn't outside the scope of the KRX Index methodology at all.</p>

Rebalancing resultsBelow is the official result of the regular rebalancing in September for the KRX BBIG K_New Deal Index.Of course, the big changes are Krafton and SK Bioscience in the main index. And SKIET's inclusion in the Secondary Battery sub-index also deserves special attention.

Regarding Krafton's inclusion:Krafton was listed after the review cutoff date (July 31). Nonetheless, KRX decided to include it in this rebalancing. Then, did KRX break its own rule? Well, it did not.Here is my explanation which I posted previously, concerning this issue.
First of all, this BBIG index does not have a Fast Entry clause. So, KRX was internally debating whether to apply the review cutoff date to newly listed stocks with large market caps. (This was what I heard from KRX directly.) Since this index has few constituents, if newly listed stocks with large market caps are excluded from the index for nearly six months, the resulting disparity between the index and the actual sector may become too large, and KRX is also concerned about this.
Therefore, KRX said that it would decide on Fast Entry of those stocks with large market caps, such as Krafton, Kakao Pay, and LG Energy Solution, at the time of regular rebalancing in consultation with the ETF operators (Mirae Asset). In the end, it turned out that the outcome of the KRX &amp; Mirae Asset discussion on the Fast Entry of Krafton was Go, which wasn't outside the scope of the KRX Index methodology at all.
