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 14.3% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 48 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Financials (27%). 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.

99/ 100
ASimple & diversified
DiversificationHHI 48100

Concentration is below 1,500 (48), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceFinancials 27%97

The largest sector is Financials at 27% — industries are reasonably spread.

Structural simplicityPhysical, 1x100

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

We don't have cost, fund size for iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF yet, so those axes are excluded and the score is based on the other 3. Scoring a missing figure as zero would grade our data collection, not the fund.

Concentration at a glanceHHI 48well 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 48, with the top 10 holdings at just 14.3% 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 Financials(27%) · Industrials(17%) · Information Technology(12%), and even the largest is only 27% — 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

Its closest neighbour is EFA at 85% 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 2,651 positions in total; this page lists the largest 1364 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 85.1% of the fund, the rest swaps and cash — index exposure built synthetically rather than by owning the shares, which adds counterparty risk.
