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 69.6% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 1316 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Information Technology (52%). 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.

74/ 100
BSound structure
DiversificationHHI 1,31643

Concentration is below 1,500 (1,316), so no single holding dominates.

Sector balanceInformation Technology 52%54

Information Technology is 52%, a clear tilt. That industry's swings will drive the fund.

Cost0.15%/yr91

At 0.15% a year this is a low-cost fund — little drag over a long hold.

Fund size$9.0B87

Net assets of $9.0B — 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 1,316moderate

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 1316 — moderate. The top 10 names carry 69.6% 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, Information Technology alone is 52% — 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, SEIV, overlaps only 26% (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 151 positions in total; this page lists the largest 25 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 61.6% 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.
