Korea May Continue to Fail MSCI DM Inclusion Unless Allowing for K200 Options Listing on SGX

By Sanghyun Park

  • The KRX and the MSCI have not agreed on the full right to use the KRX indexes’ price information. This should be the essential cause of Korea’s failed DM inclusion.
  • The MSCI wants to list the KOSPI 200 Options on the SGX, which the MSCI sees as a prerequisite for taking the lead in the Korean passive market.
  • Suppose the government takes a forward-looking approach to this issue. In that case, we may see the K200 Options SGX listing that has a bigger market impact before DM inclusion.
