The KOSPI 200 (Korean: 코스피 200) is a stock market index consisting of 200 major companies listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX).
[2] The KOSPI 200 index is rebalanced by the KRX twice a year, in June and December, with newly listed large-cap stocks eligible for inclusion in March and September.
[3] In June 1994, the Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), now the Korea Exchange, introduced the KOSPI 200 by selecting 200 stocks from various industry sectors listed on the KSE.
The KOSPI 200 was initially a market capitalization-weighted index and adopted a free-float weighting method in 2007.
