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 6.7% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 18 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Financials (18%). 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.
Concentration is below 1,500 (18), so no single holding dominates.
The largest sector is Financials at 18% — industries are reasonably spread.
At 0.15% a year this is a low-cost fund — little drag over a long hold.
Net assets of $4.0B — liquid enough to trade, and unlikely to be wound down.
A plain 1x physical fund holding the shares themselves — no structural drift from how long you hold it.

Where the weight sits — sector mix
Listed equity weights summed by sector and normalized to 100%. Each band is one sector's share.
Industry breakdown
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 18, with the top 10 holdings at just 6.7% 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
Sectors run Financials(18%) · Health Care(18%) · Consumer Discretionary(17%), and even the largest is only 18% — 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, MSMR, overlaps only 15% (1 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
Equities are 47.4% 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.
