Akros Korea Manufacturing Core Alliance Index

The index tracks 35 Korean companies across six strategic manufacturing sectors—AI Semiconductor (40%), Rechargeable Battery (12%), Shipbuilding (12%), Defense (12%), Power Grid & Nuclear Energy (12%), and Robotics & Humanoid (12%)—that are positioned to fill critical roles in the US-allied manufacturing supply chain. Constituents are selected from KOSPI-listed stocks (with selective KOSDAQ inclusion for Robotics) meeting free-float market cap and liquidity thresholds, filtered by sector-specific AICS codes, and ranked using Akros' NEXUS thematic relevance engine. Intra-sector weights are determined by a composite of market capitalization rank and NEXUS score rank, subject to individual weight caps and concentration constraints. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
