As filed, collateral included
1.23% collateralESGE's filing lists 310 positions including 1.23% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 28 effective holdings with a top ten of 39.25%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 27.7 with a top ten of 39.36%. 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 ESGE'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, $80m was out to 9 borrowers, 1.13% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL, held 25.1% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $20m | 25.1% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $17m | 21.1% |
| J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC | $15m | 18.1% |

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.23% of net assets, 108.5% 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.

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 $7.08B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
