As filed, collateral included
2.38% collateralDFAC's filing lists 2,550 positions including 2.38% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 89.1 effective holdings with a top ten of 27.1%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 93.4 with a top ten of 25.86%. 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.

Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-04-30A 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 $44.49B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
