The biggest loser will be Anterogen, likely suffering a passive outflow of ₩19.0B. Golfzon and STCube will also see a substantial amount go away as a result of the rebalancing. But Caregen should be the one to trade as it has the highest days-to-cover ratio at 8.55x. Korea Ratings and STCube also require 5~6 days to cover.

Price performanceWe see a mixed performance among the additions on a year-to-date basis. Only 6 of the 16 additions have a positive YTD return.Again, we see a mixed performance among the deletions as well. Only 8 of the 16 deletions have a negative YTD return. Short interestApparently, short-selling actions haven't begun yet. HL Science has the highest ratio of short interest to float shares, but it is still 3% with 1.88 days to cover. STCube faces the longest days to cover at 2.74x. But many investors seem to be in line to short the deletes as most of them carry a pretty heavy loan balance, except for a few names.
