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 94.6% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 2542 — High — concentrated, and the largest sector is Industrials (53%). 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.
Its concentration index is above 2,500 (2,542) — a few names drive the return.
Industrials is 53%, a clear tilt. That industry's swings will drive the fund.
0.39% a year is typical. Held ten years, roughly 3.9% goes to fees.
Net assets of $170M — 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
iShares MSCI Agriculture Producers ETF leans heavily on a handful of names. Its concentration index (HHI) is 2542, and the top 10 holdings make up 94.6% of equity weight — closer to owning a few stocks than a diversified basket.
If you bought it for diversification, note that when one or two of those names move sharply, most of the fund's day comes from them.
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, Industrials alone is 53% — 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
It shares 42% of its holdings with KROP (8 names in common) — close to half the same companies.
Own both and the diversification is thinner than it looks.
What it is made of
The fund holds 154 positions in total; this page lists the largest 13 and folds the rest into "Others".
Equities are 64.0% 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 0.39% 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.
