Look-through

ETFs and bonds

Working out what someone really owns when they hold ETFs: the companies inside the funds, with their weights.

How it is worked out

For each ETF, the amount someone holds times the weight of each position in the fund's latest N-PORT filing. Amounts in the same company from different ETFs and from stocks held directly are added together.
