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 47.5% of the fund. The concentration index (HHI) is 426 — Low — evenly diversified, and the largest sector is Health Care (46%). The higher the concentration, the more one stock or sector drives the whole ETF's return.

At 0.06% a year this is a low-cost fund — little drag over a long hold.

Fund size$1.4B55

Concentration at a glanceHHI 426well spread

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 426, with the top 10 holdings at just 47.5% 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

Sector weights run Health Care(46%) · Consumer Discretionary(13%) · Information Technology(12%). At 46%, the leading sector is a clear tilt.

Expect it to ride that industry's cycle — ahead of the index in good stretches, behind in bad ones.

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

How much it overlaps others

It shares 76% of its holdings with IWO (20 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 1,144 positions in total; this page lists the largest 24 and folds the rest into "Others".

Equities are 12.6% 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 0.06% 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.
