Returns the fund reported
2019-09 – 2026-05Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of AVUV's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.06 percentage points over 80 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: AVUV.json · all funds.
Who borrows AVUV'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, $72m was out to 18 borrowers, 0.27% of net assets. The largest, BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, held 37.7% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED | $27m | 37.7% |
| HSBC BANK PLC | $13m | 17.5% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $11m | 14.7% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $3m | 4.8% |
| Scotia Capital (USA) Inc | $3m | 3.9% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.15% of net assets, 56.6% 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 AVUV has filed, with each borrower: AVUV.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31773 positions became 797: 84 added (3.3% of the fund at the later date), 60 dropped (2.9% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 14.1%. 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 $27.08B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
