DBMF

DBMF reports 15 positions, but the weights make it behave like about 3.3 equally weighted ones. Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing — see what this measure does not tell you and the full table.

The same filing says what kind of price those positions carry: 2.95% of DBMF is held at a quoted market price, from a single issuer country . Comparisons across every fund are in the valuation table, and what a low share does and does not mean is worth reading before drawing a conclusion from it.

One row per filed reporting period, newest first, read from EDGAR. Quarterly because that is the public filing cadence. Rows marked * are published but held out of the comparison above; the methodology page says when and why.
