$AASI (+0.17%) Does anyone have this ETF? Could it be that the composition here on GQ is incorrect?

The ETF you mentioned is a synthetic one nachbildender🤷🏼‍♂️. I am therefore not at all surprised by the composition and it may well be correct. There may be something else in there to replicate the performance of the "underlying" index. Maybe look into the different types of replication for ETFs, then you won't be surprised and you'll know what you're putting your money into. No offense meant, but: absolute basic knowledge.

@PassiveInvest I am currently looking for an ETF for the Asian market and have looked through all kinds of ETF's and was very surprised that it says Asia on it, but there is no Asia inside;)

@RoTown All right, verstehe👍🏻. As I said, synthetic replicating ETFs can have something else in them, so you should always keep an eye on them.

@All-in-or-nothing another example is the ETF $GLUX. It replicates the luxury index investing mainly in non-luxury stocks.

It's correct. Being an ETF with no physical replication, Amundi's team can buy whatever they want to produce the return of the index. In this case Amundi is buying mainly US stocks: Amundi then gives to investors the return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index and keep further gains for itself (if there are additional gains). The track record of this ETF is very good in returning the index returns so I would not worry about it.
