KOSPI Size Index Reshuffle Results Out Late Today: Early Positioning Delivered Big Gains

By Sanghyun Park

  • For this September reshuffle, fewer factors affected price impact, so outlier chances were low. Biggest price moves typically occur 30 days before the effective date, especially during LARGE↔MID transitions.
  • Early positioning for this reshuffle paid off. Past trends suggest price action fades before the effective date, so consider exiting positions by tomorrow or early next week.
  • Small→Mid migrants historically show weak price impacts, with no clear correlation observed in this September reshuffle either. I’m avoiding those plays targeting the effective date for now.

  • The Born Korea is getting ready to complete its IPO in Korea in November. The total IPO offering is expected to range from 69 billion won to 84 billion won.
