DFAC holdings

DFAC reports 2,548 holdings and behaves like 93.4 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-07-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 20 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

2.4% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 89.1

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

2.38% collateral

DFAC'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.

Who borrows DFAC's shares

2026-07-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $1.3bn was out to 31 borrowers. The largest, National Financial Services LLC, held 27.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
National Financial Services LLC $349m 27.6%
BofA Securities, Inc. $163m 12.9%
HSBC BANK PLC $156m 12.3%
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association $113m 9.0%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $78m 6.2%

The filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

2,522 positions became 2,539: 113 added (0.2% of the fund at the later date), 96 dropped (0.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-04-30

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 $44.49B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
