getHoldings.WisdomTree: Get the holdings of Wisdom Tree ETFs

In qmao: Quantmod Add-on

Description

Get the names and weights of holdings of Wisdom Tree ETFs.

Usage

  getHoldings.WisdomTree(Symbols, env = .GlobalEnv,
    auto.assign = TRUE)

Arguments

Symbols	chr Symbols of ETFs (if not supplied, the symbols of all Wisdom Tree ETFs will be used.)
env	environment in which to store the holdings data
auto.assign	assign data?

Details

This function is usually called by getHoldings, but it can also be called directly

Value

An object classed as “holdings” will be created that is a data.frame with columns for holdings' weights, names, and symbols. If called with auto.assign=TRUE, it will be assigned in env with names that are Symbols appended with “.h”. Otherwise, the “holdings” will be returned and not stored.

Note

This does not support Alternative Investment ETFs which, as of this writing (2012-07), are “WDTI” and “RRF”. Wisdom Tree provides these holdings data in the form of Excel spreadsheets and a POST is required to download them.

WisdomTree provides more columns than this function returns, but some of their files have multiple sections with differing numbers of columns. Also, they have different numbers of columns for different ETFs. So, at least for now, only 3 columns are returned with names "Weight", "Name", and "Symbol"
