 "questions": [
  {
   "q": "How much of SLX is in S&P 500 companies?",
   "a": "By its holdings published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, 12% of SLX 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 SLX hold?",
   "a": "39 positions as published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, with the top ten at 58% of the fund. The largest are Bhp Group Ltd at 7.4%, Rio Tinto Plc at 7.1%, Vale Sa at 7.0%."

   "q": "Has SLX beaten the S&P 500?",
   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026 SLX 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 SLX cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.55% a year. Because 100% of the fund differs from the S&P 500, the fee on that differing part works out at 0.55%."
