Domestic stocks rose sharply over the course of a month. 4At the end of 6,598.87, the KOSPI stood at 5 on 29, reaching 8,476.15 and rising 28.4% on a monthly basis. This figure indicates a strong rise in the index level.
Despite the rise in the index, performance varied among individual stocks. As funds concentrated in the highest-market-cap stocks, trading in small- and mid-cap stocks weakened relatively. Buying interest was observed to be concentrated in large-cap stocks.
The monthly return gap between the large-cap and small-cap indices widened to 47.5% points. This gap shows that performance differed considerably across groups of stocks even over the same period. Profit and loss varied substantially depending on the stocks held by each investor.
Funds were particularly concentrated in sectors with high market capitalizations, including semiconductors. The data show that rising share prices among top-ranked stocks drove the index higher. Meanwhile, small- and mid-cap stocks remained relatively overlooked.
Trading value and concentrated buying created a pattern limited to certain groups of stocks. The data show that trading and funds were concentrated in only some sectors and stocks. Broad-based gains across all stocks were limited.
In summary, the index rose sharply, but performance differed markedly between large-cap and small- and mid-cap stocks. The data confirm that returns over the same period were distributed very unevenly. Future investment portfolios need to take differences in performance among individual stocks into account.
