<li>Those non-top three constituents in the battery index get to face more substantial outflow due to LG Chem's remaining in the index. They are Posco Chemical, SKC, and Iljin Materials.</li>
<li>It is still that AfreecaTV (067160 KS) and Douzone Bizon (012510 KS) are the ones with the most significant passive impacts, +1.73x and -2.67x ADTVs, respectively. </li>
<li>LG Energy Fast Entry will be implemented on the same day. The combined inflow should rise to +0.95x ADTV, substantial enough to deserve special attention.</li>

KRX New Deal Index Rebalance: No Surprises as LG Chem Not Deleted from Battery Index

<ul>
<li>FnGuide Battery Index overlaps with the rebalancing of the KRX K-New Deal. K-New Deal is March 11. As for FnGuide Battery, it will be three trading days on March 14-16.</li>
<li>Among the top-cap stocks, Samsung SDI will be the biggest beneficiary, and we need to consider a setup that utilizes Samsung SDI as a long/short partner for LG Chem.</li>
<li>LG Chem's staying significant distorts mid-caps' index weight in KRX Battery. The extent of passive outflows would be pretty substantial. So, outright short these mid-caps should deserve our attention.</li>
