Quiddity Leaderboard KOSPI 200 Jun 24: Four Changes Likely

By Travis Lundy

  • KOSPI 200 is a Korean blue-chip index that tracks the 200 largest and most-liquid names listed in the KOSPI section of the Korea Exchange (KRX).
  • In this insight, we take a look at the names leading the race to become ADDs and DELs during the upcoming semiannual review in June 2024.
  • We expect up to four changes in the KOSPI 200 index during the June 2024 index rebal event (down from 5 expected last month)  based on the latest available data.

  • The key factors are speculative trading frenzy among local retail investors and subsequent passive inflows through early entry into KOSPI 200/MSCI Standard.
  • Considering two factors is vital. Hyundai Marine Solution’s IPO size is twice Ecopro Materials’, potentially limiting speculative buying. Sector-wide rallies, crucial for Ecopro Materials, haven’t been as prominent in shipbuilding.
