<li>In the KOSPI, Kakao Pay and SK IET deserve our attention. Their prices are 20-25% above the offering prices, and the release size is 10x ADTV. Both are short-selling available.</li>
<li>On the KOSDAQ, Enchem, Dear U, 4by4, and Poongwon Precision are worth paying attention to. They will face a sizable release with the share prices sitting above their offering prices.</li>
<li>However, none of these KOSDAQ names are available for short-selling. So, we should consider underweighting existing positions rather than building up new positions.</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>

<li>In general, the projection hit rate for the top market cap constituents was sufficiently high. And the correlation between their stock price direction and passive flow was also high.</li>
<li>However, the projection hit rate for the constituents with a small market cap was relatively low.</li>
<li>If we traded the proposed tradable names with an equal-weighted Long/Short basket, we would have achieved a return of 1.76%. Even excluding Hanjin Kal, we would have achieved 1.31%.</li>

<li>KOSPI has seven lockup release events that are likely to hit the market. And all of them are IPO institutional and ESOP lockups.</li>
<li>Whether these IPO institutional/ESOP lockups will hit the market directly correlates with the return size from the offering price. And most of them are still far above the offering price.</li>
<li>Therefore, it is highly likely that a meaningful share price correction will occur on each release date. This correlation pattern has been more pronounced in recent lockup release events.</li>
