See the real stocks inside funds that hold other funds

Some ETFs and mutual funds don't hold stocks at all — they hold other funds. Unwrap.Fund opens those underlying funds too, so you see the companies you actually own instead of a list of ticker symbols.

Example: Avantis All Equity Markets ETF (AVGE)

AVGE is a single ETF that spreads your money across 14 other Avantis ETFs. Here is the same fund before and after Unwrap.Fund goes one step further.

15 holdings, almost all of them funds

This is what AVGE's own SEC filing lists. No companies, no sectors, no countries — just other funds.

Avantis All Equity Markets ETF (AVGE), SEC Form N-PORT holdings as of May 31, 2026. Snapshot for illustration; the live tool always uses each fund's latest filing.

How it works

1
Read the fund's filing
Every fund starts from its own SEC Form N-PORT holdings report.
2
Spot the funds inside it
Holdings that are themselves funds we have data for are recognised, with a check that a matching ticker really is that fund and not an unrelated company.
3
Replace each one with what it owns
Each underlying fund's holdings are scaled by its weight in the parent, then merged with everything else. A stock held through several of them becomes one line.

Which funds this applies to

  • Target-date funds that hold a set of index funds.
  • All-in-one allocation ETFs, such as Avantis AVGE or Dimensional DFAW.
  • Buffer and covered-call funds that hold a single index ETF.
  • Bond and stock mixes that are built from other funds.

Hundreds of funds in our data hold other funds. If you aren't sure whether one of yours does, add it to the portfolio tool and the report will show what is inside.

What it doesn't do yet

  • One level only. A fund held two levels down is shown as a single line, not expanded again.
  • Comparing two funds. The fund comparison still reads each fund's filing as listed, so a fund of funds can show less overlap there than it really has.
  • A few sectors are still unclassified.We only label a company's sector when we're confident, so some smaller non-U.S. companies still appear as “Unclassified” in a global fund's sector breakdown.
  • Quarterly data. Holdings come from SEC filings and can be a few months old.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fund of funds?

A fund whose holdings are other funds rather than individual stocks or bonds. Target-date funds, all-in-one allocation ETFs such as Avantis AVGE or Dimensional DFAW, and some buffer and covered-call ETFs work this way. Read straight from the SEC filing, they look like a short list of ticker symbols.

Does Unwrap.Fund look through ETFs that hold other ETFs?

Yes, one level down. When a fund's filing lists another fund we have holdings for, that fund is replaced by its own holdings, scaled by the weight the parent gives it, and merged with everything else. A fund held two levels down is kept as a single line rather than expanded further.

Why does a fund of funds show thousands of holdings?

Because it owns thousands of companies indirectly. AVGE lists 15 holdings in its own filing, but the funds it holds own 11,556 different positions between them.

Does this work in the portfolio tool, not just on a fund page?

Yes. Add a fund of funds next to your other holdings and the combined exposure and overlap use the underlying companies, so you can see if it duplicates something else you own.

Which funds are covered?

U.S.-registered funds that file Form N-PORT. The underlying fund also has to be one we have holdings for; funds we can't find are shown as a single holding.
