What is the KRX BBIG K-New Deal Index?The KRX BBIG K-New Deal Index consists of 12 stocks, each of which is a representative company in four industries, including rechargeable Batteries, Bio, Internet, and Games, which are the leading industries in the Korean stock market.It is important to note that this is a mother index, under which there are four sub-indices, like one for each sector. Each sub-index has ten constituents selected based on market capitalization.Index weight &amp; number of constituentsThe mother index is an equal-weighted index, in which each index constituent is allocated the same weight at each balancing, 1/12 = 8.33%.But the four sub-indices employ a hybrid weight system. The top-three group is given the weight of 75%, in which each stock is allocated the same weight of 25% at each rebalancing. In comparison, the plus group consisting of the remaining seven constituents is given the remaining weight of 25%, in which their float-adjusted market capitalization weights the seven stocks.Screening criteria, period, base date, &amp; implementation dateScreening for index inclusion is based on the average daily market capitalization and the average daily trading value of an eligible company over the screening period. Companies are screened over the three months preceding the screening base date.Regular rebalancings are made at the end of February and August every year. This year, February 26 and August 31 are the implementation dates of the regular rebalancing.Therefore, the screening base date is January 29 and July 30, which are the last days of the previous month.

<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

SK IE Technology and LG Chem soared abruptly between 3:20 and 3:30 pm during the simultaneous bids and offers trade period. During this 10-minute period, SK IE Technology's daily gain rose from 3.51% to 10.53%. LG Chem also rose sharply from 2.97% to 5.33%.Why did this happen?The local street believes that the stock prices have moved significantly in such a short period of time as Samsung Asset Management newly added SK IE Technology to its secondary battery sector ETF and increased the weighting of LG Chem in the same ETF.Local ETFs tracking secondary battery sectorKorea currently has three ETFs specifically tracking the local secondary battery sector. The biggest one is Samsung KODEX Secondary Battery Industry ETF, mirroring the FnGuide Secondary Battery Industry Index. It now features a market cap of ₩1,233.6B with 26 constituents.The other two ETFs aren't too far behind by market cap. They are both Mirae Asset TIGER ETFs. One tracks the WISE Secondary Battery Them Index containing 26 constituents. The other one mirrors the government-initiated K-New Deal Index, which has 10 constituents.

Portfolio Deposit File (PDF)Below is the full list of the constituents of the three ETFs with index weight as of last Friday. It seems that Samsung KODEX hasn't fully updated the constituent list of its Secondary Battery Sector Index ETF. It is presumably because most of the trades took place during the simultaneous bids and offers trade period, meaning that the trades were completed and reflected after 3:30 pm. Samsung KODEX updates the portfolio deposit file (PDF) of its ETFs at 3:30 pm of each day.
