Fetching & Matching ETF Holdings

Golden rule: use ISIN as the primary stock identifier

ISIN is the only universal, unambiguous equity identifier. Never use Ticker|Location as a primary key — tickers differ across providers (e.g. HDFCB vs HDFCBANK, BRK/B vs BRKB, 0Y3K|Ireland vs EATON|United States).

Data sources

ACWI benchmark — use SPDR, not iShares

SPDR MSCI ACWI ETF (SPYY GY) publishes daily holdings WITH ISINs:

https://www.ssga.com/uk/en_gb/intermediary/etfs/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/emea/holdings-daily-emea-en-spyy-gy.xlsx

• Skip first 5 rows (metadata), row 6 is header
• Columns: ISIN, SEDOL, Security Name, Currency, Number of Shares, Percent of Fund, Trade Country Name, Local Price, Sector Classification, Industry Classification, Base Market Value
• ~2,300 equities, 100% weight coverage, 49 countries
• Filter equities: df[df['ISIN'].str.match(r'^[A-Z]{2}[A-Z0-9]{9}[0-9]$')]
• Has duplicate ISINs (preferred + common shares) — aggregate with groupby('ISIN') before using as lookup
• No ticker column — only ISIN, SEDOL, Security Name

Do NOT use iShares SSAC — its CSV omits ISINs (only Ticker, Name, Location). SSAC is still useful for iShares-vs-iShares comparisons (e.g. ESG screening analysis) since Ticker|Location is consistent within iShares.

TKF100 "Alt B" model portfolio ETFs (locked 2026-07-13)

The chosen redesign: 4 MSCI World Screened + 1 Vanguard global all-cap + Invesco EM. Weights: World funds 19.27% each, Vanguard 12.00%, Invesco EM 10.92% (EM pinned to 12.18% look-through). Benchmark = MSCI ACWI, plus ACWI IMI (SPDR SPYI) for the all-cap Vanguard sleeve.

ETF	ISIN	Source	Has ISINs?	Notes
iShares MSCI World Screened (SAWD)	IE00BFNM3J75	iShares CSV	No	Standard iShares format. Name→ISIN bridge via SPDR

Parsing Amundi XLSX files

Amundi XLSX files have broken XML stylesheets that crash openpyxl. Parse via raw XML extraction:

import zipfile, re, html

def parse_amundi_holdings(fpath):
    """Parse Amundi fund holdings XLSX via raw XML (bypasses broken stylesheet)."""
    with zipfile.ZipFile(fpath) as z:
        # Read shared strings
        ss = []
        if 'xl/sharedStrings.xml' in z.namelist():
            for si in re.findall(r'<si>(.*?)</si>',
                    z.read('xl/sharedStrings.xml').decode('utf-8'), re.DOTALL):
                ss.append(''.join(re.findall(r'<t[^>]*>([^<]*)</t>', si)))
        # Read sheet rows
        sheet_xml = z.read('xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml').decode('utf-8')
        rows = []
        for rxml in re.findall(r'<row[^>]*>(.*?)</row>', sheet_xml, re.DOTALL):
            d = {}
            for ref, attrs, val in re.findall(
                    r'<c\s+r="([^"]+)"([^>]*)><v>([^<]*)</v></c>', rxml):
                col = re.match(r'([A-Z]+)', ref).group(1)
                if 't="s"' in attrs:
                    d[col] = ss[int(val)] if int(val) < len(ss) else ''
                else:
                    try: d[col] = float(val)
                    except: d[col] = val
            if d: rows.append(d)
    # Find header row, parse holdings
    hi = next(i for i, r in enumerate(rows) if 'ISIN code' in r.values())
    # Columns: B=ISIN, C=Name, D=Asset class, E=Currency, F=Weight (0-1), G=Sector, H=Country
    holdings = {}
    for r in rows[hi+1:]:
        isin = html.unescape(str(r.get('B', '')))
        if len(isin) == 12 and r.get('D', '') == 'EQUITY':
            holdings[isin] = float(r.get('F', 0)) * 100  # Convert 0.09 → 9%
    return holdings

Prebuilt mapping files

Two mapping files in reports/adhoc/data/ speed up cross-provider matching:

• isin_to_stockid.json — 1,698 ISIN → Ticker|Location mappings. Built from isin_ticker_map.json + matched Amundi/Xtrackers holdings. Use when bridging ISIN-based funds to Ticker|Location-based benchmarks (e.g. legacy SSAC).
• provider_name_mappings.json — 705 fuzzy name mappings per provider (Amundi USA, Xtrackers USA, Amundi World Ex USA). Maps provider-specific names to SSAC stock_id. Use as fallback when ISIN matching isn't available.

For ISIN-based active share (preferred), neither file is needed — join directly on ISIN against SPDR ACWI.

Building a name→ISIN bridge for iShares/Vanguard

For the 2 ETFs without ISINs, use SPDR ACWI as a bridge:

1. Load SPDR (has ISIN + Security Name + Trade Country Name)
2. Build lookup dicts: {normalized_name: ISIN} and {(name_prefix, country): ISIN}
3. For each iShares/Vanguard stock, normalize its name and look up the ISIN
4. Use two-pass matching: first with share class info preserved (keep_class=True to distinguish Class A/C), then without
5. Fall back to prefix+country matching (15→10→8→6→4 chars) for abbreviated names

Bridging results (as of Mar 2026): ~1800 of 2600 ticker-only stocks bridged, 1.26% weight unmatched (mostly Vanguard small caps genuinely not in ACWI).

Matching rules

1. Always join on ISIN first — this matches 95-100% of holdings for ISIN-bearing ETFs
2. For residual unmatched: use normalized name matching with class-aware two-pass bridge
3. Never match on ticker alone across providers — same ticker can be different companies (e.g. CFR is Cullen/Frost in US, Richemont in Switzerland; ALV is Autoliv in US, Allianz in Germany)
4. Preferred vs common shares: for active share purposes, treat as the same stock (e.g. Samsung Electronics KR7005931001 pref = KR7005930003 common)
5. Multi-class shares (Class A/B/C): preserve class info when bridging to avoid collapsing different ISINs (e.g. Alphabet Class A US02079K3059 ≠ Class C US02079K1079)

Common pitfalls

• OpenFIGI returns wrong exchange tickers: Maps ISINs to local exchange tickers that don't match iShares conventions. Avoid using OpenFIGI for cross-provider matching.
• Name normalization must handle cross-provider differences: iShares uses "INC", SPDR uses "Incorporated"; iShares "AMAZON COM INC", SPDR "Amazon.com Inc."; iShares "MCDONALDS CORP", SPDR "McDonald's Corporation". Strip dots, apostrophes, hyphens early.
• Abbreviated vs full names: "LVMH" vs "LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE", "GSK PLC" vs "GLAXOSMITHKLINE" (rebrand). Short prefixes (4-6 chars) with country constraint catch abbreviations; rebrands need manual mapping.
• "THE" prefix and "/The" suffix: Vanguard uses "TJX Cos Inc/The", SPDR uses "The TJX Companies Inc." — strip both leading and trailing "THE".
• Single-letter sequences from dot stripping: "U.S. Bancorp" → "U S BANCORP" after dots removed. Collapse r'\b([A-Z]) ([A-Z])\b' → joined letters.
• Country name differences: iShares uses "Korea (South)", SPDR uses "South Korea". Use prefix+country as a hint, not a hard requirement.
• BNP Min TE funds use sampling: BNP doesn't fully replicate — some large stocks (e.g. Toyota Motor) may be missing. This creates genuine underweights, not matching bugs.
• pensionikeskus.ee III pillar page does NOT include TKF — it's a separate fund category.
• Validate matching quality with decomposition: Always check weight excluded/added/reduced. "Weight added" > 2% signals matching failures. Current notebook achieves 1.54% weight added.

Name normalization function

def normalize_name(name, keep_class=False):
    """Aggressively normalize stock names for cross-provider matching."""
    n = str(name).upper().strip()
    n = n.replace('.', ' ')    # "Inc." → "Inc "
    n = n.replace("'", '')     # "McDonald's" → "McDonalds"
    n = n.replace('-', ' ')    # "Freeport-McMoRan" → "Freeport McMoRan"
    n = n.replace('/', ' ')    # "TJX Cos Inc/The" → "TJX Cos Inc The"
    n = re.sub(r'^THE\s+', '', n)    # leading "The"

        n = re.sub(r'\s+CLA?\s*$', '', n)
    # Collapse single-letter sequences: "U S" → "US", "S P A" → "SPA"
    n = re.sub(r'\b([A-Z]) ([A-Z])\b', r'\1\2', n)

Two-pass bridge pattern

# Build lookups from SPDR
spdr_name_class = {}   # WITH class → ISIN (precise)
spdr_name_to_isin = {} # WITHOUT class → ISIN (fallback)
spdr_prefix_country = {}  # (prefix, country) → ISIN
for _, r in spdr_acwi.iterrows():
    norm_cls = normalize_name(r['Security Name'], keep_class=True)
    norm = normalize_name(r['Security Name'], keep_class=False)
    country = r['Trade Country Name']
    spdr_name_class[norm_cls] = r['ISIN']
    if norm not in spdr_name_to_isin:
        spdr_name_to_isin[norm] = r['ISIN']
    for plen in [15, 10, 8, 6, 4]:
        key = (norm[:plen], country)
        if len(norm) >= plen and key not in spdr_prefix_country:
            spdr_prefix_country[key] = r['ISIN']

def bridge_to_isin(ticker, name, country):

Data refresh workflow for active share analysis

When running a new active share analysis, download fresh data on the same day to ensure dates match:

1. Download ACWI benchmark

Download SPDR MSCI ACWI (SPYY) daily holdings XLSX:

https://www.ssga.com/uk/en_gb/intermediary/etfs/library-content/products/fund-data/etfs/emea/holdings-daily-emea-en-spyy-gy.xlsx

• Updated daily. Check row 4 for "Holdings As Of:" date.
• Save to working directory (not committed to repo — large file, changes daily).

2. Download fund holdings (same day)

Fund	Where to download
Amundi USA Screened (IE000F60HVH9)	amundietf.com → product page → Documents → Fund Holdings XLSX
Xtrackers USA Screened (IE00BJZ2DC62)	etf.dws.com → product page → Documents → Constituent XLSX
iShares USA Screened (SASU, IE00BFNM3G45)	ishares.com → product page → Holdings → Download CSV
Amundi World Ex USA Screened (FR0013209921)	amundietf.com → product page → Documents → Fund Holdings XLSX
iShares EM IMI Screened (SAEM, IE00BFNM3P36)	ishares.com → product page → Holdings → Download CSV

For the TKF100 "Alt B" model portfolio funds (iShares/Amundi/Xtrackers/BNP World Screened + Vanguard ESG Global All Cap + Invesco EM), use the resolved download URLs in the Alt B data-source table above — plus the ACWI IMI benchmark (SPDR SPYI) for the all-cap Vanguard sleeve. Download all on the same day as the benchmark.

3. Match and compute

Preferred: ISIN-based matching (no mapping files needed)

1. Load SPDR ACWI — pd.read_excel(..., skiprows=5), filter equities by ISIN regex, groupby('ISIN') to aggregate
2. Load Amundi XLSX — use parse_amundi_holdings() (see above) — returns {ISIN: weight}
3. Load Xtrackers XLSX — pd.read_excel(..., header=3), ISIN in column C, weight in column K (×100)
4. Load iShares CSVs — bridge names to ISINs via SPDR (see two-pass bridge above)
5. Build portfolio: for each fund, scale stock weights by allocation percentage, aggregate by ISIN
6. Compute: Active Share = ½ × Σ|w_portfolio[i] − w_benchmark[i]| over all ISINs

Fallback: name-based matching (when using SSAC benchmark)

• Use provider_name_mappings.json for Amundi/Xtrackers → SSAC stock_id matching
• Use isin_to_stockid.json to bridge remaining ISINs to Ticker|Location

4. Validate

• Total matched weight should be >99% for ISIN-bearing funds (Amundi, Xtrackers)
• iShares bridging: >98% for USA (SASU), ~40-50% for EM IMI (SAEM) — the rest are small-caps not in ACWI
• Check benchmark date matches fund holdings dates (within 1-2 days)
• "Weight added" (portfolio-only stocks) should be <0.5% — higher signals matching bugs
