KOSPI Size Index Series: September Rebalancing Preview

By Sanghyun Park

  • We generally detect an increase in the buying volume of local institutions for stocks moving from Large Cap to Mid Cap ahead of the KOSPI size index rebalancing.
  • At the last close, Mid→Large: Pan Ocean, Hyundai Mipo, BGF Retail, & OCI / Large→Mid: Hanmi Science, KCC, DB Hitek, & KEPCO E&C
  • The level of price impact/correlation in the last rebalancing was exceptionally high. This is reason enough for us to consider setting up a preemptive position for this rebalancing event.
