BIZD holdings

BIZD reports 34 holdings and behaves like 10.4 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 28 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

18.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 7.9

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

18.6% collateral

BIZD's filing lists 35 positions including 18.6% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 7.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 91.86%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 10.4 with a top ten of 77.58%. 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 BIZD's shares

2026-06-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $430m was out to 23 borrowers, 26.35% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 31.4% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $135m 31.4%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $73m 17.0%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $70m 16.4%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $66m 15.3%
BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $26m 6.1%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 18.60% of net assets, 70.6% 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 BIZD has filed, with each borrower: BIZD.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

33 positions became 34: 2 added (17.2% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (19.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 25.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-06-30

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 $1.63B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

64.17%Stocks held directly
35.02%Swap notional (3)
0%Futures notional (0)
99.2%Sum, % of net assets
Swap counterpartyNotional% of net assets
UBS Securities LLC$555M34%
Bank of America NA$17M1.02%

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays 1 day USD SOFR + 0.843% on $571M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
