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 43.0% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 402 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Utilities (68%). 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.

70/ 100
BSound structure
DiversificationHHI 40289

Concentration is below 1,500 (402), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceUtilities 68%28

Utilities alone is 68%. This is effectively a bet on that one industry — if the sector falls, diversification will not help.

Cost0.35%/yr74

0.35% a year is typical. Held ten years, roughly 3.5% goes to fees.

Fund size$525M39

Net assets of $525M — liquid enough to trade, and unlikely to be wound down.

Structural simplicityPhysical, 1x100

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

Concentration at a glanceHHI 402well spread
spread1,0001,8002,500concentrated

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 402, with the top 10 holdings at just 43.0% 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

By sector, Utilities alone is 68% — 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

Its closest neighbour is CFO at 100% overlap — effectively the same basket.

Holding both is not diversification, it is buying the same companies twice. Pick whichever is cheaper.

What it is made of

The fund holds 502 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 9.3% 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 0.35% 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.
