How this is computed

ETFIQ reads no daily data for this fund, so its flows are monthly, and the latest month filed is Oct 2026. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for BUG, back to Sep 2019, is in its flows file. Flows across every fund · How these flows are computed · Compare BUG with other funds in the flows tool

Month by month, money in and money outJul 2023 to Oct 2026

BUG, money in and money out each month from Jul 2023 to May 2026: two bars a month, money in above the line and money out below. Every bar is from BUG’s SEC filings (N-PORT item B.6). Oct 2026 is still in progress, so it is in the list and not drawn. Of the 36 months listed, money came in on net in 18 and went out in 18.

How this is computed

N-PORT months: money in is sales plus reinvestments; money out is redemptions. Months summed from daily data: money in adds the days money came in; money out adds the days it went out.

N-PORT months are the filed sales plus reinvestments less redemptions. Later months add up the daily data; the Source column names any missing day.

The difference bar for BUG, redrawn every trading night.

Free to use with attribution for data ETFIQ computes; issuer data stays under its owner's terms. The underlying files are at Open data.

How differently the money is placed, counting weights: one minus the sum of the smaller weight of each security across the fund and the index. 100% means nothing in common; 0% means the index itself. Two funds can hold the same names and still have a high active share if they weight them very differently.
Weight overlap
The share of money two portfolios hold in the same securities at the same weight.
Already in the index
The fund’s weight in securities the S&P 500 holds at all. A fund can be made entirely of index names and still have high active share, because it holds them at different weights.
The weight of the ten largest holdings. Above 50% the fund is a bet on a handful of companies, whatever the theme.
