As filed, collateral included
1.62% collateralAVES's filing lists 1,884 positions including 1.62% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 235.6 effective holdings with a top ten of 12.93%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 252.9 with a top ten of 12.26%. 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.

Who borrows AVES'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, $180m was out to 22 borrowers, 12.27% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED, held 27.1% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED | $49m | 27.1% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED | $29m | 16.0% |

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.62% of net assets, 13.2% 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.

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 $1.46B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
