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 100.0% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 1434 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Unclassified (100%). 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.

49/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 1,43440

Concentration is below 1,500 (1,434), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceUnclassified 100%0

Unclassified alone is 100%. This is effectively a bet on that one industry — if the sector falls, diversification will not help.

Structural simplicityPhysical, 1x100

A plain 1x physical fund holding the shares themselves — no structural drift from how long you hold it.

We don't have cost, fund size for FT Vest Buffered Allocation Growth ETF yet, so those axes are excluded and the score is based on the other 3. Scoring a missing figure as zero would grade our data collection, not the fund.

Where the weight sits — sector mix

Listed equity weights summed by sector and normalized to 100%. Each band is one sector's share.

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) sits at 1434 — moderate. The top 10 names carry 100.0% of equity weight, so the fund is spread out but its largest holdings still steer it.

That is the usual shape of a cap-weighted index fund: broad, yet tilted toward the biggest companies.

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

By sector, Unclassified alone is 100% — whatever the fund is called, this is a bet on that industry.

Bad news for the sector moves the whole fund. Worth checking against anything else you hold in the same space.

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

How much it overlaps others

It shares 58% of its holdings with BUFR (8 names in common) — close to half the same companies.

Own both and the diversification is thinner than it looks.
