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 80.5% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 1283 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Information Technology (38%). 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.

58/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 1,28344

Concentration is below 1,500 (1,283), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceInformation Technology 38%79

The largest sector is Information Technology at 38% — industries are reasonably spread.

Cost1%/yr17

1% a year is on the high side — about 10.0% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.

Fund size$588M41

Net assets of $588M — 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.

Concentration at a glanceHHI 1,283moderate

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) sits at 1283 — moderate. The top 10 names carry 80.5% of equity weight, so the fund is spread out but its largest holdings still steer it.

That is the usual shape of a cap-weighted index fund: broad, yet tilted toward the biggest companies.

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

Sector weights run Information Technology(38%) · Unclassified(30%) · Communication Services(11%). At 38%, the leading sector is a clear tilt.

Expect it to ride that industry's cycle — ahead of the index in good stretches, behind in bad ones.

Weights above sum the individually listed equities and normalize that equity total to 100%.

How much it overlaps others

It shares 70% of its holdings with XYLD (24 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 419 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 65.7% 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 1% 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.
