• list_etfs

  Use this when the user asks whether a US ETF is covered, wants to find an ETF by name or ticker, or asks how many ETFs the data covers and how recent it is. Returns the date of the data and the count of covered ETFs by source: the issuers' own holdings files, SEC Form N-PORT filings, trusts' filings, sponsors' files and prospectuses, and how many of the US-listed ETFs that is. With query, it returns up to 50 matching ETFs with their names, sources and categories; without query, it also lists every covered ticker by source unless include_tickers is false, a long answer. Mutual funds, closed-end funds and funds listed outside the US are not covered. Not for an ETF's holdings or figures (get_etf_holdings).

• get_etf_holdings

  Use this when the user asks what any US ETF holds or its sectors, cost, size, returns and risk. Returns the holdings largest first with their weights, category, sector, mega-cap tech and country weights, expense ratio, assets, top 10 weight, 1, 3 and 5-year returns, volatility, beta and worst fall, with each file's date; most ETFs read from SEC filings have no return or risk figures here. Returns are past, not a forecast. A bond ETF gives its lines by issuer, coupon and maturity, with duration; an ETF read from SEC filings that is leveraged, inverse, under half in stock or half in swaps and futures lists its shares, and its contracts apart as notional exposure; an option income ETF read as a stock ETF (JEPI, QYLD) lists its stocks, not its options or notes; a trust gives what its filing says it holds; a prospectus-only ETF its objective. Not for comparing ETFs (compare_etfs) or the ETFs holding a stock (find_etfs_holding_stock).

• compare_etfs

  Use this when the user names exactly two US ETFs and asks how much they overlap, whether one duplicates the other, or how they differ in cost and risk. Returns the overlap by weight and each ETF's share held in common, the largest shared holdings, the correlation of weekly returns over up to three years, and each ETF's cost, return, volatility and worst fall (most ETFs read from SEC filings have no return or risk figures here), with both holdings dates. Two bond ETFs are compared by issuer overlap, option income stock ETFs (JEPI, QYLD) by their stocks alone. An ETF read from SEC filings that is leveraged, inverse, under half in stock or half in swaps and futures, a trust or pool (metal, crypto, currency, futures), a multi-asset, sponsor-file or prospectus-only ETF, or a bond ETF beside a stock ETF is compared by weekly returns alone, with the reason. Not for three or more ETFs (get_etf_overlap_matrix).

• get_etf_overlap_matrix

  Use this when the user lists three to thirty US ETFs, often a portfolio, and asks which of them duplicate each other or whether the list is diversified across companies; two give one pair. Returns every pair ranked by overlap by weight, with the share of each ETF held in common and the count of companies in both, and the holdings date and source of each ETF in those pairs. It measures diversification by the holdings the ETFs share, not by how their returns move together. Bond ETFs are paired by issuer overlap and listed apart. Uncovered tickers are named and skipped; commodity, multi-asset, sponsor-file and prospectus-only ETFs and ETFs read from SEC filings that are leveraged, inverse, under half in stock or half in swaps and futures are listed as not comparable, each with its reason. Not for the companies underneath (get_etf_portfolio_lookthrough) or how ETFs move together (get_etf_portfolio_risk).

• get_etf_portfolio_lookthrough

  Use this when the user gives a portfolio of US ETFs and asks which companies they own, how much of one company they hold, or how concentrated it is. Returns the companies underneath, each with its percent of what is looked through, its value when amounts are given and the ETFs it comes through, plus the count of holdings, by ticker, and the top 10 weight; for one company, raise top until it shows, up to 200. It measures diversification by single companies, not by how ETFs move together. Without amounts, every ETF counts equally. Uncovered tickers (US stocks among them), bond, commodity, multi-asset, sponsor-file and prospectus-only ETFs, and ETFs read from SEC filings that are leveraged, inverse, under half in stock or half in swaps and futures are named and left out of the percentages and the value. Amounts are not stored. Not for duplicate ETFs (get_etf_overlap_matrix) or risk (get_etf_portfolio_risk).

• get_etf_portfolio_risk

  Use this when the user gives a portfolio of US ETFs and asks where its risk comes from or how its ETFs move together. Returns the portfolio's volatility, each position's share of the risk and of the capital, the diversification ratio, independent bets, the beta to the S&P 500, and the correlation and covariance of weekly returns over up to three years. It measures diversification by how the ETFs move together, not by companies held. Every ETF needs a year of weekly prices, which most ETFs read from SEC filings do not have here. Uncovered tickers are named and skipped. A trust or pool (bitcoin, gold), a bond, multi-asset or leveraged, inverse or other derivative-based ETF counts from its own weekly prices when it has them, named in read_from_prices. Past, not a forecast. Not for the companies held (get_etf_portfolio_lookthrough).

• find_etfs_holding_stock

  Use this when the user asks which ETFs hold a stock, which ETF holds the most of it, how many ETFs hold it, or whether it is in VOO, SPY, IVV, QQQ, VTI or SCHD. Returns the covered US ETFs that hold it, sorted by the stock's weight in each ETF, largest first, each with its weight, rank, dollars, holdings date and source, plus the count, how many ETFs hold it as their largest position, the ETFs and issuers with the most dollars in it, and one sentence to quote. The list keeps the heaviest holders, so a broad ETF where the stock weighs little can fall outside it; whether the six ETFs above hold it is in every answer for a stock with its own stock file, whatever top is, unless compact is true. ETFs holding it through swaps, futures or options are listed apart, as notional exposure. Not for one stock's weight in another ETF (compare_stocks) or the share ETFs own (get_etf_ownership).

• compare_stocks

  Use this when the user asks how two US stocks compare on size, valuation, returns, risk or correlation, or what weight and rank one stock has inside one named ETF, for example META in QQQ. For two stocks it returns market cap, P/E and dividend yield from market data, returns, volatility, worst fall, beta, the correlation of weekly returns over up to three years and the covered ETFs holding both. For a stock and an ETF it returns whether the ETF holds the stock, at what weight and rank among the shares it holds outright, with the date of the ETF's holdings; a derivative-based ETF's swaps, futures and options are in its profile (get_etf_holdings), not here. A stock is in the data with about two years of US prices, and sooner for a recent listing a covered ETF holds. Returns are past, not a forecast. Not for comparing two ETFs (compare_etfs), or a company's business or products.

• get_etf_ownership

  Use this when the user asks how much of a US company ETFs own, or what share of its stock sits in ETFs. Returns a lower bound: at least this percent of the shares outstanding is held by the covered US ETFs, from this many ETFs, with the shares held, the SEC's count of shares outstanding and its date, the holdings dates, the method, whether the percent is of the whole company or of the ticker's class, and where the figure ranks among the stocks measured. It is a lower bound because ETFs outside the coverage are not counted. A stock without a figure comes back with the reason. Not for the list of ETFs that hold the stock (find_etfs_holding_stock).

• get_etf_holdings_history

  Use this when the user asks how a US ETF's holdings evolved over time, how often its holdings file changes, or how its overlap with its closest ETFs moved. Returns every archived file date of the ETF with its position count and top 10 weight, each step with the count of lines that entered, exited and changed weight and its turnover measures, and the overlap by weight over those dates with its ten closest ETFs. Kept for the stock ETFs read from their issuers' own files, from each ETF's first archived file: 1 September 2026 at the earliest for the daily files, 31 July 2026 for Vanguard's monthly files; another ETF comes back with the reason it has no history. A step across a change in how the files are keyed or read is marked restated, not traded. Not for the lines one step added or dropped (get_etf_holdings_changes).

• get_etf_holdings_changes

  Use this when the user asks what a US ETF bought, sold, added or dropped, or how the weights of its holdings changed, recently or since a date. Returns, for each step from one issuer file to the next, the lines that entered and exited with their weights and the lines whose weight moved by 0.05 points or more, before and after, which includes price moves and not only trades, with the turnover measures; the latest step when no date is given. Kept for the stock ETFs read from their issuers' own files, daily for most and monthly for Vanguard; another ETF comes back with the reason it has no history. A step across a change in how the files are keyed or read is marked restated and lists no trades. Not for an ETF's holdings on one date (get_etf_holdings) or its overlap over time (get_etf_holdings_history).

• get_etf_flows

  Use this when the user asks whether ETFs are buying or selling a stock, which stocks ETFs bought or sold the most, or which stocks entered or left an index fund. With a ticker, returns the net change in shares held by the US ETFs read daily from their issuers' files on the latest market close, its value at the files' own prices, the ETFs that added and trimmed, a series over the last 20 closes, index entries and exits and corporate actions; without one, the day's largest net additions and reductions, index events and corporate actions. A change mixes creations and redemptions of the ETFs' own shares with rebalancing; beyond_growth leaves out the first. Mergers, spin-offs, takeovers and splits are no trades: their lines are left out of the sums and the lists. Not for which ETFs hold a stock (find_etfs_holding_stock) or one ETF's changes (get_etf_holdings_changes).
