Who borrows EWJV's shares

2025-11-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2025-11-30, $237,452 was out to 1 borrower, 0.05% of net assets.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BofA Securities, Inc. $237,452 100.0%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.05% of net assets, 105.2% 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 EWJV has filed, with each borrower: EWJV.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

109 positions became 110: 3 added (0.6% 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: 7.3%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

2.6% of EWJV 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 $715M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
