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 100.0% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 1072 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Materials (71%). 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.

54/ 100
CTilted structure
DiversificationHHI 1,07251

Concentration is below 1,500 (1,072), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceMaterials 71%23

Materials alone is 71%. This is effectively a bet on that one industry — if the sector falls, diversification will not help.

Cost0.65%/yr48

0.65% a year is on the high side — about 6.5% over a decade, so it needs a reason to earn that.

Fund size$461M37

Net assets of $461M — 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 1,072moderate
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) sits at 1072 — moderate. The top 10 names carry 100.0% 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

By sector, Materials alone is 71% — 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, EMET, overlaps only 23% (6 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 166 positions in total; this page lists the largest 10 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 36.0% 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 0.65% 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.
