EWI holdings
EWI reports 28 holdings and behaves like 13 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.
Measured concentration
as of 2026-05-31Read this figure with the following in mind
1.1% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 12.9
The figure below is what the filing says, published unchanged. What it may not do is sit beside a plain long-only fund and be read as the same quantity. How comparability is decided.

As filed, collateral included
1.15% collateralEWI's filing lists 29 positions including 1.15% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 12.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 71.23%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 13 with a top ten of 71.25%. 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.

Returns the fund reported
2019-09 – 2026-05Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of EWI's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference — percentage points over 0 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: EWI.json · all funds.
Who borrows EWI'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, $7m was out to 1 borrower, 1.09% of net assets.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $7m | 100.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.15% of net assets, 105.1% 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 EWI has filed, with each borrower: EWI.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-3129 positions became 28: 2 added (0.8% of the fund at the later date), 3 dropped (1.6% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 5.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

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 $661M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
