AVES holdings

AVES reports 1,883 holdings and behaves like 252.9 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 19 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 235.6

The figure below is what the filing says, published unchanged. What it may not do is sit beside a plain long-only fund and be read as the same quantity. How comparability is decided.

As filed, collateral included

1.62% collateral

AVES'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

2026-05-31

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS CAPITAL SECURITIES LIMITED $49m 27.1%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED $29m 16.0%
BNP PARIBAS FINANCIAL MARKETS $21m 11.4%
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL $18m 9.9%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $16m 9.2%

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.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

1,821 positions became 1,876: 178 added (5.8% of the fund at the later date), 123 dropped (4.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 22.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

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