Index Rebalance & ETF Flow Recap: STAR50, SET50, AMFI, KOSDAQ150
- The adhoc KOSDAQ 150 Index rebalance and the regular Nifty200 Momentum30 Index rebalance will be implemented on Thursday and the SET 50 Index rebalance will be implemented on Friday.
- The review cutoff period for a whole bunch of indices ends on 29 December and the announcement of the results and implementation will take place early next year.
- There were big inflows to China ETFs and to Emerging Market ETFs including iShares Core Emerging Mar (IEMG US), Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO US) and iShares Emerging Markets (EMXC US).
KOSDAQ 150’s New Fast Entry Rule: Top 30 by Market Cap in 15 Trading Days Post-Listing
- Fast entry is now permissible for KOSDAQ 150. Within 15 trading days post-listing, the average daily total market cap must rank among the top 30 ordinary stocks on KOSDAQ.
- KOSDAQ 150 will also allow newly established entities in corporate spin-offs, following KOSPI 200’s model. Inclusion is granted if the subsidiary ranks within KOSDAQ 150’s top 160 (80%).
- The ₩1.5T cutoff for KOSDAQ 150 fast entry suggests potential candidates nearing this threshold, like Oasis, Kurly (and maybe Kakao Entertainment).
