Korea Exchange (KRX) said it held the "Korea Value-up Index constituent corporations meeting" on the 15th at Korea Exchange (KRX) in Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
The meeting was arranged to signal the intent to continue pushing the value-up program, prompted by the value-up index hitting a record high, and to encourage constituent corporations to participate in disclosing plans to raise corporate value.
A total of 10 corporations attended the meeting, including seven KOSPI-listed and three KOSDAQ-listed companies. The attending corporations were DoubleU Games, Dongjin Semichem, Myoung Shin Industry, Binggrae, Samsung Electronics, and COSMAX.
The corporations attending the meeting agreed that efforts to raise corporate value have been recognized by the market, and said they will continue to actively carry out value-up disclosures, including expanding shareholder returns and improving profitability.
Jeong Eun-bo, chair of Korea Exchange (KRX), said, "Since the announcement of the value-up index last year, the total net worth (AUM) of 13 related ETPs surpassed 1 trillion won as of the end of November this year, and the share of foreign investors in transaction value also jumped significantly from 7.8% at launch to 24.8%, indicating rising interest from the market and investors."
Meanwhile, Korea Exchange (KRX), in line with its phased index construction plan centered on corporations disclosing value-up plans, will, starting with the regular review in June 2026, build the index mainly with corporations that disclose and carry out plans to raise corporate value.
