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 97.9% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 1991 — Moderate, and the largest sector is Unclassified (89%). 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.

50/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 1,99127

Concentration sits in the 1,500–2,500 band (1,991) — moderate.

Sector balanceUnclassified 89%0

Unclassified alone is 89%. This is effectively a bet on that one industry — if the sector falls, diversification will not help.

Cost0.19%/yr88

0.19% a year is typical. Held ten years, roughly 1.9% goes to fees.

Fund size$273M28

Net assets of $273M — 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

Franklin FTSE China ETF leans heavily on a handful of names. Its concentration index (HHI) is 1991, and the top 10 holdings make up 97.9% 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, Unclassified alone is 89% — 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

Even its closest peer, BKF, overlaps only 39% (8 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 1,119 positions in total; this page lists the largest 11 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 25.1% 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 0.19% 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.
