DFAR holdings

DFAR reports 123 holdings and behaves like 32.2 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 17 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 32.2

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

1.57% collateral

DFAR's filing lists 124 positions including 1.57% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 32.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 48.25%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 32.2 with a top ten of 48.4%. 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.

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.
