We have this ETF's holdings, but the prices for those particular listings are outside our quote coverage (currently Korea- and US-listed securities). So today's contribution and return are not computed — showing 0% would claim it did not move, which is a different statement. The holdings and weights below follow the calculation basis above.

Today's summary

Its top 10 holdings make up about 59.9% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 544 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Information Technology (25%). The higher the concentration, the more one stock or sector drives the whole ETF's return.

Structural health

A five-axis read on how this fund is built. It is not a return forecast or a recommendation, and a low score does not mean a bad fund — leveraged products score low by design. Each axis shows the figure behind it.

Concentration at a glanceHHI 544well spread

HHI sums the squared weights. The more it leans on a few names, the higher it goes — and the more the whole ETF moves with them.

How concentrated is it

Concentration (HHI) is low at 544, with the top 10 holdings at just 59.9% of equity weight. No single name can dominate the fund.

Good for damping single-stock risk — and equally, a big winner inside gets diluted.

HHI squares each weight and sums them: 10,000 means one stock is everything, and the more evenly spread the holdings, the closer it falls to zero.

Where the sector weight sits

Sectors run Information Technology(25%) · Utilities(25%) · Health Care(17%), and even the largest is only 25% — no meaningful industry tilt.

This is built to track a market rather than to call a sector.

Weights above sum the individually listed equities and normalize that equity total to 100%.

How much it overlaps others

It shares 52% of its holdings with USMV (17 names in common) — close to half the same companies.

Own both and the diversification is thinner than it looks.

What it is made of

The fund holds 445 positions in total; this page lists the largest 19 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 19.6% of the fund, the rest swaps and cash — index exposure built synthetically rather than by owning the shares, which adds counterparty risk.

The expense ratio is 0.2% a year. Funds tracking the same index tend to perform alike, which makes the fee one of the few things that reliably separates them over time.
