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 53.7% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 444 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Health Care (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.

58/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 44485

Concentration is below 1,500 (444), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceHealth Care 100%0

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

Cost0.5%/yr61

0.5% a year is typical. Held ten years, roughly 5.0% goes to fees.

Fund size$180M21

Net assets of $180M — 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 444well 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 444, with the top 10 holdings at just 53.7% 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 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

Even its closest peer, IBRN, overlaps only 16% (5 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 104 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 58.0% 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 0.5% 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.
