How much of a theme was already the index, August 2026
Across the 187 thematic ETFs that traded the whole of August 2026 and filed a book inside it, the median had 30.8 percent of its money in companies already in the S&P 500, ranging from 0.0 percent at the tenth fund to 75.7 at the ninetieth, at a median fee of 0.50 percent that barely moves across that range.
- The median fund had 30.8% of its money in companies the S&P 500 already holds, from 0.0% at the tenth fund to 75.7% at the ninetieth.
- 111 of 187 beat the S&P 500 over the month and 76 did not.
- The median fee is 0.5%, which barely moves across that range.
A month rarely contains a holdings filing, so every book here is the newest one filed at or before the month ended. These run from May 29, 2026 to Jun 30, 2026, and a fund whose newest book is older than a quarter and a filing lag is counted out rather than published stale.
Every fund, August 2026
All 187 funds that traded the whole of August 2026, sorted by the measure this desk is built on. The last column is that measure as a percentile inside the set named beside it, computed on this window rather than taken from the live desk.
