<li>FnGuide Samsung Group has the most AUM among locally themed indexes. As of last Friday's closing price, AUM is ₩1.52T.</li>
<li>The share price movements of Samsung Group affiliates basically show high cointegration. Therefore, a small differential impact on the flow significantly affects the short-term price direction of these stocks. </li>
<li>So, we should consider a long/short setup on a swing trading window. Particularly, we need to focus on the first two trading days, when the rebalancing impact is relatively significant.</li>
