Screening ETFs by geography works on two axes that must not be confused. The measured axis — min_us_share, min_em_share — bounds the actual share of the fund’s linked equity weight in a region, computed from holdings. The label axis uses the region and country segments of the equity.size_style category — equity.size_style.emerging, equity.size_style.country_jp — which classify funds whose mandate is that geography.

The Measured Geography Filters

number
Floor on the share of linked equity weight in US issuers, 0..1. Measured from the newest holdings day, so it works on any fund — a sector fund, a thematic fund — not only funds labelled by region.
number
Floor on the emerging-market share of linked equity weight, 0..1.

The Geography Labels

Region and country live at level 3 of the taxonomy, under equity.size_style: us, global, global_ex_us, developed_ex_us, emerging, regions (region_europe, region_asia_pacific, region_north_america, region_latin_america) and country codes (country_cn, country_jp, country_in, country_br, country_kr, country_tw, and several dozen more). Pass them as segment, or use taxonomy_prefix=equity.size_style for every size-and-style fund at once. The free facets endpoint lists which country segments actually carry funds.

Measured or Labelled — Which to Use

Ask “funds mandated to Japan” with the label (segment=equity.size_style.country_jp). Ask “funds actually holding mostly US names” with the measurement (min_us_share=0.8) — which will also surface sector and thematic funds that carry no geography label at all. The measured shares are computed from linked equity weight: holdings lines that did not resolve to a company (derivatives, cash) are outside the denominator.

Coverage of the Measured Shares

The measured geography columns exist only for funds with a holdings profile; a fund without a holdings feed has nulls there and silently drops out of measured filters. The free facets endpoint reports how many funds carry a holdings profile. By asset class · By portfolio shape · ETF screening overview
