Rebuilt every trading night.\n As of Nov 4, 2026, the median ETF lists 94 positions, and the top ten are 36% of a stock fund and 50% of a theme fund.\n \n In plain words\n A holdings file lists every position in a fund: name, identifier, amount owned and weight. Funds file it with the SEC on Form N-PORT, and many issuers publish it daily.\n Start with positions and top-ten weight. The median fund has 94 positions across 3,495 funds read; a typical stock fund puts 36% in its top ten, a theme fund 50% and a bond fund 15%. Then look at what is not stock: cash, swaps, options and other funds. Cash can be its own row. ETFIQ shows filed weights with the file\u2019s date.\n Questions\n What is Form N-PORT? A monthly report of fund holdings filed with the SEC. The public gets it after a delay.\n Where do I see a fund\u2019s holdings? On its holdings page, with the filing date and a download.\n Why do holdings dates differ? Issuers publish daily, SEC filings come with a lag.
