As filed, collateral included
2.87% collateralDFIC's filing lists 4,130 positions including 2.87% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 422.3 effective holdings with a top ten of 9.27%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 640.4 with a top ten of 6.91%. 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 $13.65B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
