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 68.3% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 789 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Information Technology (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 78963

Concentration is below 1,500 (789), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceInformation Technology 100%0

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

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 VanEck Semiconductor 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 789well 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 789, with the top 10 holdings at just 68.3% 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

By sector, Information Technology 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

Its closest neighbour is SHOC at 82% overlap — effectively the same basket.

Holding both is not diversification, it is buying the same companies twice. Pick whichever is cheaper.
