Measured concentration

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.9% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 361.2

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

1.85% collateral

DFSD'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.

Who borrows DFSD'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, $129m was out to 18 borrowers. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 24.3% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BofA Securities, Inc. $31m 24.3%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $27m 20.8%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $22m 16.9%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $10m 7.9%
BNP Paribas $9m 7.3%

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

1,477 positions became 1,602: 209 added (7.0% of the fund at the later date), 84 dropped (3.7% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 11.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of DFSD compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
