</table>The rebalancing of the above four indexes is worth following in terms of AUM size. In particular, TIGER Top 10, whose rebalancing is early December, is likely to experience notable rebalancing trading. On the other hand, since KODEX Secondary Battery uses a keyword-based scoring system, it is not easy to predict the weight change. TIGER Secondary Cell will be rebalancing in January next year.As for KODEX Samsung Group, it is also an interesting one, but given its rebalancing implementation rule (to be done over five trading days), the passive impact resulting from rebalancing should be pretty limited. KODEX Samsung Group completes rebalancing from the 2nd trading day to the 6th trading day in June and December. The review base date is the last trading day of the month immediately preceding the rebalancing.
