Weight and calculation basis
157 identified stocks · net exposure / NAV 299.89%. Display weights are normalized to 100%; calculations retain original exposures without an additional leverage multiplier.

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 18.1% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 112 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Health Care (99%). 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.
Concentration is below 1,500 (112), so no single holding dominates.
Health Care alone is 99%. This is effectively a bet on that one industry — if the sector falls, diversification will not help.
0.96% a year is on the high side — about 9.6% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.
Net assets of $575M — liquid enough to trade, and unlikely to be wound down.
A 3x leveraged fund. It resets exposure daily, so over more than a few days the result drifts from "index move × 3". Built for short holds.

Where the weight sits — sector mix
Listed equity weights summed by sector and normalized to 100%. Each band is one sector's share.
Industry breakdown
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.
Leverage / inverse caveat
This fund tracks its index at 3x.
That 3x applies to a **single day**. Held longer, the daily reset makes the period return drift from 3x the index: if the index chops up and down and returns to where it started, this fund is still down. That is volatility decay.
It bites hardest in sideways markets and compounds with holding time. These are built for short directional trades.
How concentrated is it
Concentration (HHI) is low at 112, with the top 10 holdings at just 18.1% 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
By sector, Health Care alone is 99% — 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, MIDU, overlaps only 9% (11 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 173 positions in total; this page lists the largest 157 and folds the rest into "Others".
The expense ratio is 0.96% 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.
