The ETF directory, fund pages and comparison tool use free public sources. Each figure shows its source and date. When a source has nothing for a fund, the figure is shown as unavailable with the reason, never as zero or an estimate.
The fund list
- US funds come from Nasdaq Trader's symbol directory, which flags every exchange-traded product. That flag also covers exchange-traded notes and commodity trusts. The list is refreshed each weekday morning (New York time).
- SEC identifiers (registrant, fund series and share class) come from the SEC's fund ticker file. They link each US fund to its filings.
- ASX funds come from ASX's monthly Investment Products report. It is checked each weekday; its figures are for the month end it covers.
Holdings, net assets and breakdowns
- US holdings and net assets come from the fund series' latest public Form N-PORT report filed with the SEC. Funds make the report for the last month of each quarter public about 60 days after that month ends, so holdings are usually two to five months old. The fund page shows the month end and the date the report became public.
- Each fund is checked about once a week.
- Up to the 2,000 largest positions are kept per fund. When a fund has more, the page says what share of its reported weight the kept positions make up. Breakdowns use every position in the report.
- Weights are the percent of net assets reported, and can total more or less than 100% because of derivatives, borrowing and cash.
- Net assets are for the whole SEC fund series. For some funds (Vanguard's, for example) that includes mutual fund share classes as well as the ETF.
- Currency is the currency each holding is denominated in. Currency hedges are not netted off, so a hedged fund still shows its holdings' currencies.
- Country is the country the report assigns to each issuer.
- Sector is shown only for holdings matched to US stocks listed on this site, by CUSIP (using CUSIP and symbol pairs from the SEC's fails-to-deliver data) or by a ticker the fund reported. The page shows what share of the fund was matched; the rest has no sector.
- Asset class is worked out from the holdings. A fund is derivatives-based when its contracts' notional amounts reach half of net assets, cash when cash vehicles are three quarters of it, otherwise the class making up at least 75% of its invested long weight, and otherwise multi-asset. A fund holding other ETFs in the directory counts those under their own asset class. The US, International or Global label comes from the share of holdings with US issuers: at least 85% is US, 15% or less is International.
Fees
- US expense ratios come from the SEC's Mutual Fund Prospectus Risk/Return Summary data sets, which hold the fee tables funds file with their prospectuses. They are published quarterly; the last five quarters are read and the newest filing per share class is used.
- The total (gross) figure is the total annual fund operating expenses. The net figure is after fee waivers or reimbursements and appears only when the fund states one. The management fee and the prospectus date are shown where given.
- ASX funds show the management expense ratio from the ASX report.
Distributions and yield
- Distributions come from Yahoo Finance and cover the last five years. Amounts are per unit, adjusted for later unit splits. Each fund is checked about every three days.
- Frequency comes from the usual gap between ex-dates over the last two years: weekly, monthly, quarterly, twice a year or yearly, or irregular when the gaps fit none of these. A fund with no ex-date in the last 13 months shows none.
- The 12-month total adds distributions with an ex-date in the last 12 months. It looks back 380 days so a payment whose date moved slightly is not missed, then keeps at most one year's payments at the fund's usual frequency.
- 12-month yield = that total ÷ the latest price × 100. It looks back, so it is not a forecast, and it includes any special distributions in the period.
Prices
Prices come from Yahoo Finance and may be delayed. US funds are updated hourly during US market hours; ASX funds three times each ASX trading day.
Funds without holdings
Some funds have no holdings to show:
- ASX funds do not publish a standard machine-readable report like Form N-PORT.
- Exchange-traded notes are debt of the issuing bank and hold no portfolio.
- Grantor trusts (many commodity and crypto funds) and unit investment trusts have no SEC fund series that files Form N-PORT.
- New funds have none until their first report becomes public.
Comparison and overlap
The comparison tool shows two to four funds side by side. Weighted overlap adds up, for each security both funds hold, the smaller of its two weights. Securities are matched by ISIN, then CUSIP, and only as a last resort by issuer name. Cash, derivatives and short positions are left out, and for funds with more than 2,000 positions the figure is a lower bound. ETF holdings overlap explains the measure with a worked example.
