MSCI Korea Standard/Small Cap Rebalancing & Tradable Names

By Sanghyun Park

  • In addition to Hyundai Mipo Dockyard and LG Energy Solution, it is worth noting that Krafton will also have a significant passive inflow. 
  • GS E&C can become a more focused flow trading target as it is an unexpected one that the market must have failed to notice.
  • Since most deletions will have a relatively sizeable passive impact on considerable liquidity, building up a short position with a basket from now on wouldn’t be a flawed approach.

Toshiba – Worse Than Even We Thought

By Mio Kato

  • Toshiba’s 2Q results were not pretty with OP of just ¥7.5bn despite strong revenues of ¥855bn, weak orders and a downward revision to guidance as we predicted. 
  • While we expected weakness, every downside risk we flagged came through and in greater force than we had predicted. 
  • It is almost as if some divine force completely unrelated to management is hinting that you should go for the JIP bid if and when it comes through.
