Unexpected Inclusion of Cosmo AM&T in KOSPI 200 Sparks Notable One-Day Flow Via KOSPI 200 IT

By Sanghyun Park

  • Unexpectedly, KRX included Cosmo AM&T (005070 KS) despite not meeting the market cap cutoff and excluded DB Hitek (000990 KS) and Lotte Energy Materials (020150 KS).
  • Cosmo AM&T’s unexpected inclusion triggers a significant one-day passive flow event through the KOSPI 200 IT, the sector index with the largest AUM.
  • Sector index rebalancing, a single-day event managed by one ETF operator, more significantly correlates flow direction with price impact. We should consider a long-short setup for these on June 13th.
