As filed, collateral included
1.44% collateralEPOL's filing lists 38 positions including 1.44% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 14.3 effective holdings with a top ten of 67.63%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 14.2 with a top ten of 67.97%. 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 EPOL'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, $8m was out to 5 borrowers, 1.31% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 78% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $7m | 78.0% |
| BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP | $779,923 | 9.3% |
| HSBC BANK PLC | $476,460 | 5.7% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $435,801 | 5.2% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $156,176 | 1.9% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.44% of net assets, 110% 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 EPOL has filed, with each borrower: EPOL.json · all funds.

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-3135 positions became 37: 3 added (0.3% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.7%.

35.3% of EPOL 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 $643M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
