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.

### In plain words

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.

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’s date.

### Questions

What is Form N-PORT? A monthly report of fund holdings filed with the SEC. The public gets it after a delay.

Where do I see a fund’s holdings? On its holdings page, with the filing date and a download.

Why do holdings dates differ? Issuers publish daily, SEC filings come with a lag. ETFIQ uses the freshest source and dates it.
