According to information from the Korean financial investment industry, the Korea Exchange recently issued “Guidelines on Adjusting ETF Keywords” to major asset management companies. The core content is that for ETFs that use specific keywords to select constituent stocks in the index compilation method, any keyword adjustments must be negotiated with the exchange in advance. The exchange notes: “Keyword-based compilation methods often rely on qualitative judgments rather than quantitative criteria.” He also said, “We have found some situations where the composition of the index changes frequently.” The exchange specifically emphasized: “Changing the keywords used to screen constituent stocks may be regarded as a change in index calculation standards. According to current rules, this may trigger delisting conditions.” Earlier, it was reported that the “TIGER Semiconductor TOP10” ETF, a subsidiary of Future Asset Global Investment, changed the index calculation standards to replace constituent stocks before regular position adjustments, causing controversy in the industry.
