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 55.1% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 449 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Financials (34%). 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 44984

Concentration is below 1,500 (449), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceFinancials 34%86

The largest sector is Financials at 34% — industries are reasonably spread.

Cost0.6%/yr52

0.6% a year is on the high side — about 6.0% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.

Fund size$71M6

Net assets of $71M are small. Thin funds trade at wider spreads, and very small ones get closed or merged.

Structural simplicityPhysical, 1x100

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

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 449, with the top 10 holdings at just 55.1% 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

Sector weights run Financials(34%) · Real Estate(22%) · Health Care(12%). At 34%, the leading sector is a clear tilt.

Expect it to ride that industry's cycle — ahead of the index in good stretches, behind in bad ones.

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

How much it overlaps others

Even its closest peer, DVLU, overlaps only 21% (6 shared names).

Funds filed under the same label can hold quite different companies, so pairing this one with another may genuinely spread risk.

What it is made of

The fund holds 51 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 73.3% 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 0.6% a year, which is not cheap. Fees come out of returns every year you hold, so it is worth checking whether the same index is available for less.
