Who borrows AVEM's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $1.8bn was out to 29 borrowers, 6.89% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED, held 20.7% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.60% of net assets, 8.7% of the amount lent. That is a floor on the collateral, not the whole of it — collateral the fund does not hold as a position is not in this filing, so a figure under 100% is not evidence of under-collateralisation. How that figure behaves across all funds. Every quarter AVEM has filed, with each borrower: AVEM.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-313,900 positions became 3,876: 52 added (0.1% of the fund at the later date), 76 dropped (0.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 13.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-05-31A position count cannot describe a fund that uses derivatives, because a swap is filed at its unrealised gain, not its exposure. These are the notionals the fund itself reported, against net assets of $26.03B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
