The rebalancing cycle of the KODEX Secondary Battery ETF was changed from semi-annual to quarterly. Also, the rebalancing trading takes place for three trading days instead of one trading day.

This passive impact will be different from the previous rebalancing. LG Energy and SK Innovation will likely experience a significant passive outflow. Then, most small-cap constituents will receive an inflow. 

Among the top weighting stocks, Samsung SDI and SKIET deserve attention. Sangsin Energy, E&amp;D, and TSI will face exclusion, while C&amp;I, Sang-A Frontec, and Enchem will likely join the ETF.

The quarterly rebalancing of the WISE Secondary Cell Index is this Friday. So, rebalancing trading takes place this Thursday at the close.
The TIGER ETF (305540) is the only ETF that tracks this index. However, the recent AUM has risen sharply, and as of yesterday's closing price, the AUM is approaching KRW 1 trillion.
There is no add (or delete) in this rebalancing that will cause a substantial passive impact like SKIET in the previous rebalancing.
But the AUM is massive, so the level of stock price fluctuations potentially resulting from index weight changes is expected to be large enough to deserve our attention.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

<p>The broad global indexes (MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, and EAFE) have pulled back to test key intermediate-term supports, and we expect to see buyers step in near current levels. Market dynamics remain largely healthy and our outlook remains neutral yet constructive overall. We see this pullback as a buying opportunity, however breakdowns would be problematic and would suggest additional downside or consolidation is likely.</p>
