How this is computed

Percentages are of net assets at the start of each window. Numbers are net: money in less money out. Checked against the filing: The month’s daily sum and the filing’s B.6 number agree within rounding or, where the filing’s is larger, within rounding plus the fund’s creation and redemption fees. The full rule is in the fund’s flows file. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for ION, back to Sep 2022, is in its flows file.

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.

ETFIQ, ION, thematic ETFs, data as of Oct 28, 2026. https://etfiq.com/funds/ion

The difference bar for ION, 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.
