KOSPI200 Index Rebalance Preview (June): Changes from Now to June

By Brian Freitas

  • A third of the way through the review period, we see three potential changes. There are a few stocks that are close to inclusion and could lead to more changes.
  • There should be a couple of index changes prior to the June review due to the merger of Meritz Financial Group, Meritz Securities and Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance.
  • Passive trackers need to trade between KRW 5-23bn on the stocks and short interest is quite low on the potential inclusions and exclusions.

KOSDAQ150 Index Rebalance Preview (June): Changes Keep Rolling In

By Brian Freitas

  • One third of the way through the review period for the June rebalance, we see 9 potential changes to the KOSDAQ 150 Index (KOSDQ150 INDEX)
  • One way turnover is estimated at 3.3% and the impact on the expected deletions is a lot higher than the impact on the expected inclusions.
  • The potential adds have massively outperformed the potential deletes over the last year. We’d wait for a reversal before entering a trade here – worth monitoring.
