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 6724 — High — concentrated, and the largest sector is Financials (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.

47/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 6,7240

Its concentration index is above 2,500 (6,724) — a few names drive the return.

Sector balanceFinancials 100%0

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

Cost0.59%/yr53

0.59% a year is on the high side — about 5.9% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.

Fund size$13.8B94

Net assets of $13.8B — 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.

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

iShares MSCI Brazil ETF leans heavily on a handful of names. Its concentration index (HHI) is 6724, and the top 10 holdings make up 100.0% of equity weight — closer to owning a few stocks than a diversified basket.

If you bought it for diversification, note that when one or two of those names move sharply, most of the fund's day comes from them.

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, Financials 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 48% of its holdings with FLBR (8 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 53 positions in total; this page lists the largest 2 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 10.4% 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 0.59% 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.
