This rebalance of the KOSPI 200 strategy is a type of momentum-driven strategy. The 15 stocks that we think could get included in the next KOSPI 200 rebalance have generated strong share price performances (up 55% on average in the past six months).

The last remaining step in the LG Group split is the exchange of shares between the major shareholders, as the largest shareholder of LX Holdings is still LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo.The stake exchange method is highly likely to be cross-trading through after-hours trading. This is the method used when the GS group was separated from the LG group. GS Group started to exchange shares one month after being separated from LG Group in 2004. Therefore, the market expects that the share exchange between LG and LX Holdings will also start in the not-too-distant future.<h2>Then, the key is the difference in value that occurs during the exchange of shares.</h2>The shares to be exchanged are an 8.32% stake in LG Holdings owned by LX Chairman Koo Bon-joon and his son and a 47.57% stake in LX Holdings owned by LG Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and other family members.<table class="table table-striped">
