Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

6.7% of net assets carries no asset category in the filing

2.9% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 422.3

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

2.87% collateral

DFIC'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.

Who borrows DFIC'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, $694m was out to 30 borrowers. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 15.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $109m 15.7%
BofA Securities, Inc. $105m 15.1%
STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY $90m 13.0%
J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC $60m 8.7%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $54m 7.8%

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

4,068 positions became 4,010: 102 added (1.1% of the fund at the later date), 160 dropped (1.8% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 9.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of DFIC compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

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 $13.65B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
