<li>The FnGuide Secondary Battery Index currently holds an AUM of ₩1.35T, and the next rebalancing implementation period is from June 13th to 15th.</li>
<li>Since these are same-sector stocks with a high cointegration level, they are suitable for narrow-window basket trading based on passive flow differences.</li>
<li>So, I would consider basket trading by targeting the large-cap constituents with a relatively significant passive flow: <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sk-innovation-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1268:1" rel="noopener">SK Innovation (096770)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sk-ie-technology" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29207:1" rel="noopener">SK IE Technology (361610)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/ecopro-bm-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27873:1" rel="noopener">Ecopro BM (247540)</a>, &amp; <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/ecopro-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19029:1" rel="noopener">Ecopro (086520)</a> </li>
