Measured concentration

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 190.0

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

1.58% collateral

DFSB's filing lists 741 positions including 1.58% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 190 effective holdings with a top ten of 14.82%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 228.5 with a top ten of 13.29%. 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.
