<li>Unexpectedly, KRX included Cosmo AM&amp;T (005070 KS) despite not meeting the market cap cutoff and excluded DB Hitek (000990 KS) and Lotte Energy Materials (020150 KS).</li>
<li>Cosmo AM&amp;T's unexpected inclusion triggers a significant one-day passive flow event through the KOSPI 200 IT, the sector index with the largest AUM.</li>
<li>Sector index rebalancing, a single-day event managed by one ETF operator, more significantly correlates flow direction with price impact. We should consider a long-short setup for these on June 13th.</li>
