EEMA holdings
EEMA reports 886 holdings and behaves like 27.8 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.
Measured concentration
as of 2026-05-31Read this figure with the following in mind
2.7% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 27.2
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
2.67% collateralEEMA's filing lists 887 positions including 2.67% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 27.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 41.09%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 27.8 with a top ten of 39.24%. 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 EEMA'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, $34m was out to 14 borrowers, 2.51% of net assets. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 34.9% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $12m | 34.9% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $8m | 24.1% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $7m | 21.4% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC | $3m | 9.0% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $2m | 4.7% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.67% of net assets, 106.5% 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 EEMA has filed, with each borrower: EEMA.json · all funds.

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31847 positions became 886: 57 added (2.4% of the fund at the later date), 18 dropped (0.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 13.7%.

7.9% of EEMA 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 $1.35B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
