<li>FnGuide Battery Index overlaps with the rebalancing of the KRX K-New Deal. K-New Deal is March 11. As for FnGuide Battery, it will be three trading days on March 14-16.</li>
<li>Among the top-cap stocks, Samsung SDI will be the biggest beneficiary, and we need to consider a setup that utilizes Samsung SDI as a long/short partner for LG Chem.</li>
<li>LG Chem's staying significant distorts mid-caps' index weight in KRX Battery. The extent of passive outflows would be pretty substantial. So, outright short these mid-caps should deserve our attention.</li>
