As filed, collateral included
2.49% collateralEEM's filing lists 1,248 positions including 2.49% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 29.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 40.49%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 29.9 with a top ten of 38.72%. 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 EEM's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $688m was out to 19 borrowers, 2.27% of net assets. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 27.6% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $190m | 27.6% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC | $127m | 18.4% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $66m | 9.6% |

| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED | $50m | 7.3% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.49% of net assets, 109.8% of the amount lent. That is a floor on the collateral, not the whole of it — collateral the fund does not hold as a position is not in this filing, so a figure under 100% is not evidence of under-collateralisation. How that figure behaves across all funds. Every quarter EEM has filed, with each borrower: EEM.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-311,217 positions became 1,236: 51 added (0.5% of the fund at the later date), 32 dropped (0.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 12.1%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

14.4% of EEM is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's, from Form N-PORT; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.
Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-05-31A 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 $30.33B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
