- Value Added Technologies (043150 KS) will replace Lutronic Corp (085370 KS) in the KOSDAQ 150 Index (KOSDQ150 INDEX) at the close on 14 September.
- Passive trackers will need to buy over 1.5x ADV on Value Added Technologies (043150 KS). The impact is higher on Lutronic Corp (085370 KS) but the arbs will provide liquidity.

HSTECH Index Rebalance Preview: Round-Trip Trade of US$255m in December
- With no stocks in inclusion or deletion zone, we do not expect any constituent changes for the Hang Seng TECH Index (HSTECH INDEX) in December.
- Capping changes will result in a one-way turnover of a touch below 1% and that will result in a round-trip trade of US$255m.
- The impact on the stocks is relatively small for now but that could increase till the end of November when the stocks will be capped.
Origin Energy: ACCC’s Concerns And Brookfield’s Quid Pro Quo
- After Origin Energy (ORG AU) entered into a Scheme Implementation Deed with Brookfield Asset Management/MidOcean Energy in late March, the ACCC approval process has played out in the public eye.
- And it hasn’t been all beer and Skittles for the Offerors. Not just on competition issues. But also the perceived/apparent public benefit from Brookfield’s future commitment to renewable generation.
- All the while, the ACCC recently blocked ANZ (ANZ AU)’s acquisition of Suncorp Bank, and Telstra Corp (TLS AU)/TPG Telecom (TPG AU)‘s mobile network sharing deal.
HSCEI Index Rebalance Preview: China Unicom (762) Could Replace Zhongsheng (881)
- Zhongsheng Group (881 HK) is a potential deletion in December and that could result in China Unicom Hong Kong (762 HK) being added to the index.
- Estimated one-way turnover at the rebalance is 1.36% resulting in a one-way trade of HK$845m. Passives will need to trade over 1x ADV on both stocks.
- There is a very small impact on the fair value of the HSCEI 2023 dividend futures but there will be a larger impact on the dividend futures expiring in 2024.
EQD | S&P/ASX200 Index Looking Bearish: Resistance Levels Reset
- The S&P/ASX 200 (AS51 INDEX) closed down last week (CC=-1), this week is rising again, we analyze the new, reset resistance levels to see how far it can go.
- Our previous, recent insight discussed the fact that the index has been locked in a range for 2 years, an uptrend may be unfolding but it must breach 7600.
- The current trend pattern is bearish, the index won’t rise more than 2-3 weeks, and it would probably go not very far: 7300-7400 should be the limit
