MSCI selects index constituents based on total market capitalization and free float market capitalization. Inclusion in the index can lead to inflows of global passive (index-tracking) funds. Songcheol Kang, a researcher at Eugene Investment & Securities, said, "The passive buying demand due to index inclusion is estimated at 110 billion KRW for EcoProMati and 115 billion KRW for Hanjin Kal."
