<li>Among the local theme ETFs in Korea, the TIGER (FnGuide) Top 10 has the highest win rate on rebalancing flow trade.</li>
<li>LG Energy deserves the most attention at the next rebalancing event. If LG Chem disposes of some of its LG Energy shares, LG Energy can bypass those on the borderline.</li>

<li>With the screening period over (May 3-31), Shinhan IN/Celltrion OUT is virtually a foregone conclusion.</li>
<li>We should consider an individually-hedged approach, instead of a plain long/short, with a tightly moving-together peer, preferably on a single-day trading window.</li>
<li>I suggest using KB Financial and Celltrion Healthcare as hedges of LONG &amp; SHORT for Shinhan and Celltrion, respectively.</li>

Index Rebalance

<ul>
<li>Celltrion Inc (068270 KS)'s deletion seems pretty much a foregone conclusion as its average float-adjusted market cap on May 3-19 is way below the next one in line.</li>
<li>Shinhan Financial (055550 KS) is the one to replace Celltrion based on the numbers so far. There is close to a ₩1T gap with the next one, POSCO (005490 KS).</li>
<li>In this rebalancing, the flow impact of the addition/deletion is even more significant. So, their share price fluctuations on June 10 will likely be more substantial than last time.</li>
