As filed, collateral included
2.86% collateralEMGF's filing lists 632 positions including 2.86% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 37.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 37.84%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 39.3 with a top ten of 35.68%. 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 EMGF'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, $52m was out to 15 borrowers, 2.72% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL, held 41.7% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $22m | 41.7% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $9m | 18.1% |
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $4m | 8.5% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $4m | 6.9% |
| Wells Fargo Bank, National Association | $3m | 5.6% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.86% of net assets, 105% 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 EMGF has filed, with each borrower: EMGF.json · all funds.

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31592 positions became 631: 68 added (3.4% of the fund at the later date), 29 dropped (1.8% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 14.7%.

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 $1.92B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
