As filed, collateral included

6.65% collateral

ANGL's filing lists 130 positions including 6.65% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 64.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 27.5%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 86.1 with a top ten of 22.76%. The collateral is matched by a liability and is not a holding the fund chose; since 2026-09-18 every figure on this site sets it aside (methodology). Both numbers are in the data.

The filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

113 positions became 132: 24 added (16.3% of the fund at the later date), 5 dropped (3.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 16.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of ANGL compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
