Who borrows EWD's shares

2025-02-28

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $8,459 100.0%

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

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

44 positions became 48: 6 added (1.1% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 4.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of EWD compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

13.8% of EWD 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 2026-05-31

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 $320M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
