By Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA

  • In this insight, we take a look at some of the names with high likelihood of being involved in index changes for the Hang Seng Index in September 2023.
  • The index changes for the September 2023 rebalance could be announced in mid-August and implemented in early-September.

Hyundai G.F. Holdings’ Stock Swap with Hyundai Green Food & Hyundai Dept Store

By Sanghyun Park

  • Hyundai G.F. Holdings will conduct a tender offer to Hyundai Green Food and Hyundai Dept Store shareholders. The tendering period is August 11-September 1.
  • The target volume is 10,125,700 (Hyundai Green Food) and 4,669,556 (Hyundai Dept Store), corresponding to 29.89% and 19.95% of the outstanding shares, respectively.
  • We should approach this event trading with caution, taking into account the risk of an unhedged setup while monitoring the potential widening of the spread opening during the tendering period.

By Nico Rosti

  • The Korea Stock Exchange KOSPI 200 (KOSPI2 INDEX EQUITY) has been (mildly) falling for 4 weeks, it may be now ready to resume its multi-month uptrend.
  • Friday July 7th would be a good time to enter this LONG trade at support prices between 337 and 333 (ideal range; it’s riskier below 333).
  • Hedge your bets in case the market keeps falling more next week and the following (it shouldn’t… but it can).
