As filed, collateral included
1.85% collateralDFSD's filing lists 1,604 positions including 1.85% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 361.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 10.32%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 402 with a top ten of 9.16%. 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.
