Where our data comes from

Prices

• Sources. Boursorama, the broker many French investors use, when it quotes the exact listing (same exchange, same currency); otherwise Yahoo Finance. A listing is never priced from another venue of the same fund, which would be in another currency or off by a factor of 100 (pence against pounds).
• Frequency. Hourly during market hours on weekdays, for every asset held in a portfolio and for the two benchmarks. Other assets are refreshed less often; their page shows how old the price is.
• History. Daily closes, from each asset's first trading day for held assets.

Fund holdings, sectors and countries

• Holdings. From the issuer's published holdings file, mainly iShares, with every position and its weight.
• Funds without a holdings file. Many issuers publish none, and swap (synthetic) ETFs hold a different basket from the index they deliver. These funds show the holdings of a fund tracking the same index: an MSCI World swap ETF shows the MSCI World constituents.
• Sectors. The 11 GICS sectors, grouped into cyclical, defensive and sensitive.
• Countries. Where each company is based, not where its share happens to be listed: a fund holding Apple through a German listing still counts it as American.

Fees and risk

• Fees. The ongoing charges figure (TER), from Yahoo Finance and justETF.
• Risk rating. The 1-to-7 risk indicator funds publish in their key information document.

Identifiers

Each listing is identified by its FIGI (from OpenFIGI), a code that differs for each exchange where the same security trades. The ISIN groups all listings of one security.

Known limits

• Returns are price returns, without distributions paid out.
• Holdings are a snapshot from the issuer's latest file, not a live position.
• Assets that no portfolio holds can show prices that are several weeks old.
• Price feeds sometimes carry glitches; the most obvious ones are filtered out of the key facts, but a chart can still show one.
