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 2026-05-31

Read 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.

Across 27 quarterly filings EEMA has become more concentrated: it behaved like 62.8 at 2019-11-30 and 27.8 at 2026-05-31. Between the 2026-02-28 and 2026-05-31 filings 57 positions were added and 18 dropped; 13.7% of the weight moved. Taiwan is the largest country at 29.77% of the portfolio, across 15 countries in the filing.

As filed, collateral included

2.67% collateral

EEMA'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

2026-05-31

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

847 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%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

A 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.
