Prime Target for Flow Trading Due to Low Pre-Exposure in December KOSPI 200 Rebalancing

By Sanghyun Park

  • Posco DX’s KOSPI 200 fast entry effective date will likely coincide with the December regular rebalancing date.
  • We should focus on the ad-hoc change deletion as we can expect more pronounced price impact near the effective date due to lower chances of premature exposure than regular reviews.
  • The following three candidates are screened: K Car, Daesang Corporation, and Shinsegae International. They are all likely to exhibit a significant passive impact (x ADTV).
