  {
   "q": "How much of ITA is in S&P 500 companies?",

  {
   "q": "What does ITA hold?",
   "a": "51 positions as published by its issuer for Sep 10, 2026, with the top ten at 78% of the fund. The largest are GE AEROSPACE at 21.8%, RTX at 17.2%, BOEING at 9.4%."

  {
   "q": "Has ITA beaten the S&P 500?",
   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026 ITA returned +10.0% with distributions reinvested, against +17.5% for the S&P 500, so it finished behind the index by 7.5 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does ITA cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.37% a year. Because 98% of the fund differs from the S&P 500, the fee on that differing part works out at 0.38%."
