getHoldings.iShares: Get the holdings of iShares ETFs

In qmao: Quantmod Add-on

Description

Get the names and weights of iShares ETFs.

Usage

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

Arguments

Symbols	chr Symbols of ETFs (if not supplied, the symbols of all iShares will be used, which could take a long time since there are over 200 of them.)
env	environment to store the holdings data in
auto.assign	assign data?

Details

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

Some iShares ETFs have more than one holding listed with the same Symbol. In the case that Symbols are duplicated, a “duplicates” attribute will be added to the returned object. Also, since rownames cannot be duplicated, they will be made unique with make.unique

Value

An object classed as “holdings” will be created that is a data.frame with columns for holdings' weights and names. 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.
