KOSPI 200 Flow Trading: Those Subject to a Significant Float Rate Change

By Sanghyun Park

  • Samsung SDS and Meritz Financial will welcome a 6%p and 30%p increase, respectively, in the upcoming rebalancing in June.
  • Assuming a K200 tracking fund size of 65 trillion won, they are expected to receive 2.69x and 5.47x ADTVs, respectively. This is enough for us to consider a preemptive position.
  • However, in the case of Samsung SDS, we need to consider potential price correction by the scheduled block deal (1.95%) and develop a multi-phased approach to minimize timing conflicts.

  • Effective 28 March, SBW Life Science (151910 KS) will be excluded from KOSDAQ 150 index and Em Tech Co Ltd (091120 KS) will replace it.
