 "questions": [
  {
   "q": "How much of RING is in S&P 500 companies?",
   "a": "By its holdings published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, 16% of RING by weight is stocks the S&P 500 already holds. Its active share against the index is 100%, so that share is the part doing something different."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does RING hold?",
   "a": "46 positions as published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, with the top ten at 66% of the fund. The largest are NEWMONT at 16.5%, AGNICO EAGLE MINES at 12.0%, BARRICK MINING at 8.1%."

  {
   "q": "Has RING beaten the S&P 500?",
   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026 RING returned +45.1% with distributions reinvested, against +17.5% for the S&P 500, so it finished ahead of the index by 27.6 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does RING cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.39% a year. Because 100% of the fund differs from the S&P 500, the fee on that differing part works out at 0.39%."
