As expected, both SKT and SK Square will remain on the KOSPI 200 after the split.Then, here are the KRX corporate action schedule for both companies:
The market cap on the last trading day before the suspension will be applied in the index calculation during the trading suspension and the re-listing day.
The market cap on the re-listing day will be used in the index calculation on the next trading day.
That is, the actual price and market cap of each company will be reflected on the next trading day of the re-listing.

[The KRX Corporate Actions &amp; Events Methodology]
So, the daily flow of KOSPI 200 rebalancing trading due to this split is as follows.
We should expect an outflow of ₩248.0B (1.87x ADTV) at the close on October 25, assuming that the KOSPI 200-tracking ETFs/index funds actively engaged in portfolio rebalancing trading in line with the index corporate action is conservatively estimated at ₩20T (out of the total ₩80T, including pension funds and variable insurance index funds).
Based on the current share price, SKT's passive inflow is expected to be ₩149.6B at the close on November 29, and SK Square will likely reach ₩99.7B.

Assuming that the stock price volatility risk during the trading suspension period is neutral, we definitely need to consider a strategy to pursue investment opportunities resulting from the KOSPI 200-initiated portfolio rebalancing trading, which purchases SKT stocks at the close on October 25 and sells them at the close on November 29.
