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 50.9% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 439 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Industrials (28%). The higher the concentration, the more one stock or sector drives the whole ETF's return.

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 439, with the top 10 holdings at just 50.9% 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

Sectors run Industrials(28%) · Health Care(19%) · Consumer Discretionary(16%), and even the largest is only 28% — no meaningful industry tilt.

This is built to track a market rather than to call a sector.

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

How much it overlaps others

Even its closest peer, BBMC, overlaps only 28% (9 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 974 positions in total; this page lists the largest 24 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 12.9% 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 0.15% a year. Funds tracking the same index tend to perform alike, which makes the fee one of the few things that reliably separates them over time.
