  {
   "q": "How much of NXTG is in S&P 500 companies?",
   "a": "By its holdings published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, 35% of NXTG by weight is stocks the S&P 500 already holds. Its active share against the index is 88%, so that share is the part doing something different."

   "a": "105 positions as published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, with the top ten at 17% of the fund. The largest are Advantech Co., Ltd. at 1.8%, Lenovo Group Limited at 1.8%, Wiwynn Corporation at 1.8%."

   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026 NXTG returned +53.3% with distributions reinvested, against +17.5% for the S&P 500, so it finished ahead of the index by 35.8 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does NXTG cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.70% a year. Because 88% of the fund differs from the S&P 500, the fee on that differing part works out at 0.80%."
