💵 Income

Weight: 15%
Not applicable

This is an accumulating ETF. It reinvests distributions inside the fund rather than paying cash to unit-holders, so income metrics don't apply. Reward is scored on the other three factors with the 15% income weight redistributed proportionally.

🌐 Diversification Quality

Risk Rating Breakdown

Our risk rating analyses XNJS using 4 weighted factors. A higher score indicates higher risk. This is a framework for understanding exposure — concentrated funds can still be doing exactly what they're meant to do.

Overall Risk Rating
44
Moderate RISK
Data Coverage: 75%
Factor Framework
Holdings Concentration
How much of the fund sits in its largest positions? Few dominant names mean returns ride on those companies.
Market Exposure
Geographic, sector and cyclical dependencies. High single-country or single-sector weight increases macro sensitivity.
Volatility
Historical price movement, beta and drawdowns — how sharply the fund moves relative to the market.
Income Reliability
How dependable the distribution yield is — cyclical-sector dependency and unusually high yields can flag payout risk.

🎯 Holdings Concentration

Weight: 25%
38/100

How much of the fund sits in a small number of positions? If the top holdings dominate, returns will be driven by those specific companies rather than the broader index.

🌍 Market Exposure
