As filed, collateral included
1.18% collateralEMXC's filing lists 665 positions including 1.18% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 19.6 effective holdings with a top ten of 44.64%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 19.7 with a top ten of 44.17%. 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 EMXC'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, $283m was out to 10 borrowers, 1.15% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL, held 80.9% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $229m | 80.9% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $35m | 12.3% |
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $5m | 1.8% |

| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $3m | 1.1% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.18% of net assets, 102.7% 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 EMXC has filed, with each borrower: EMXC.json · all funds.

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 $24.61B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
