A High Conviction Long Short Trade in KODEX Battery ETF Rebalancing in June

By Sanghyun Park

  • WCP will likely be included in the rebalancing of Samsung KODEX Secondary Battery Industry ETF in June. And we should consider the possibility of this happening to be quite high.
  • We can expect a daily passive inflow of around 0.3x compared to WCP’s typical DTV. The practical correlation with the price should be higher than the theoretical level.
  • We should consider using SKIET, which engages in the same business in the same sector, as a hedge. WCP/SKIET Long Short achieved considerable performance within the past week’s window.

Ecopro BM: Considering on a CB Issuance of 500 Billion Won

By Douglas Kim

  • According to Hankyung Business Daily, Ecopro BM Co Ltd (247540 KS) is considering on issuing a CB worth 500 billion won to various private equity and asset managment companies.
  • We would be negative on the potential CB issuance of nearly 500 billion won by Ecopro BM.
  • The potential issuance of this CB is a signal from the management that it is trying to capitalize on the recent sharp increases in share price to raise more capital.
