Quiddity Leaderboard F100/​​​250 Mar 24: Intra-Review Replacements for NETW and LXI REIT

By Janaghan Jeyakumar, CFA

  • In this insight, we take a look at the potential index changes for F100 and F250 in the run-up to the March 2024 index rebal event.
  • Although I do not see any regular ADDs/DELs for the March 2024 rebalance, there might be one or two intra-review changes during the first quarter of 2024. 
  • These intra-review changes will be triggered by the completion of M&A events and it is important to know which names are leading the race to become intra-review ADDs.

A 140% Increase in Share Cancellations by Korean Companies from 2021 to 2023

By Douglas Kim

  • The total amount of share cancellations by Korean companies increased sharply in the past three years. Share cancellations of 6.1 trillion won in 2023 represented a 140% increase from 2021.
  • Although the total amount of share cancellations of 6.1 trillion won in 2023 seems fairly large, this represented only 0.24% of total market caps of Korean companies. 
  • We also provide a list of seven Korean companies that have been targeted by activist investors  to cancel more shares and improve corporate governance.
