[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Hanjin KAL is expected to succeed in the regular change of Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) in the Korea Index.

According to the financial investment industry on the 12th, MSCI will announce a change in the composition of the MSCI Korea Index on the 13th. Once included in the MSCI Korea Index, stock prices can be expected to rise due to the inflow of funds from global passive funds that follow the index.

MSCI decides the inclusion and shipment items in consideration of the market capitalization and floating market capitalization of the component items in February, May, August, and November every year. The transfer review is based on a randomly selected trading day from the 18th to the 31st of the previous month.

Securities firms estimate the market capitalization benchmark to be around 3.1 trillion won for newly listed stocks and around 4.5 trillion won for existing stocks. Liquid market capitalization is expected to be based on KRW 1.5 trillion.

Hanjin KAL is the most likely item to be included in this regular change.
