Definitions
- Country is the filing's invCountry, the issuer's country as the filer reports it. It follows incorporation, not revenue or listing.
- Weights are on the fund's own investments: securities-lending cash collateral removed, remainder renormalised (ex-collateral-v2). † marks funds outside the comparability rules; their weights are shown but they are left out of the pooled figures.
- Only US-registered funds file N-PORT. Money from funds registered elsewhere is not in these numbers.
- Machine-readable: /data/countries/KR.json (every fund, every period) · pooled series.
