Who borrows EFG's shares

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

382 positions became 386: 17 added (1.1% of the fund at the later date), 13 dropped (0.9% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

3.1% of EFG 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 2026-04-30

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 $15.18B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
