<li>The key to this rebalancing is the inclusion of WCP, which satisfies the requirements of minimum listing period and secondary battery sales amount.</li>
<li>As a hedge for the LONG WCP position, we can use Soulbrain and Solus Advanced, whose passive outflow is relatively high among those of a similar size to WCP.</li>
<li>Among large caps, we should pay attention to L&amp;F, Posco Chemical, and Iljin Materials. However, we should be cautious about approaching them as an active trading target.</li>
