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.

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 459, with the top 10 holdings at just 56.7% 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(26%) · Health Care(25%) · Consumer Staples(20%), and even the largest is only 26% — 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 63% of its holdings with DLN (18 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 398 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 48.0% 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 0.08% 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.
