Another Hidden Passive Flow Trading Opportunity Is Captured in Korea: SOL Semicon ETF December Rebal

By Sanghyun Park

  • For the impending December rebalancing, the effective date is set for December 18th, while the ETF rebalancing trading will take place on December 15th.
  • Jusung Engineering and Eugene Technology are likely to be added, while Lake Materials and SFA Semicon are expected to exit the index.
  • Aside from constituent changes, Hansol Chemical is anticipated to significantly benefit from the passive impact as the primary beneficiary of the ceiling reversion.

A Merger Share Swap Between Kolmar Korea and Yonwoo

By Douglas Kim

  • On 19 October, Kolmar Korea announced that it will conduct a merger share swap with Yonwoo early next year to make it into a 100% wholly owned subsidiary.
  • We believe the merger share swap agreement between Kolmar Korea and Yonwoo is likely to have positive impact on both Kolmar Korea and Yonwoo.
  • After this share swap is completed, Yonwoo will be delisted. This merger is aimed at improving the inefficient governance structure caused by duplicate listings and improve management efficiency.
