Who borrows AVEM's shares

2026-05-31

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED $372m 20.7%
J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC $244m 13.6%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED $226m 12.6%
BNP PARIBAS FINANCIAL MARKETS $169m 9.4%
UBS EUROPE SE $141m 7.9%

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 → 2026-05-31

3,900 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.

Asset categories and pricing

99.29% equity, 0.70% short-term investment as filed; 17.8% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

A 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.
