EWM holdings

EWM reports 30 holdings and behaves like 14.2 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 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 14.2

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

1.63% collateral

EWM's filing lists 31 positions including 1.63% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 14.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 68.76%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 14.2 with a top ten of 68.97%. 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 EWM's shares

2026-05-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $6m was out to 3 borrowers, 1.55% of net assets. The largest, J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC, held 71.1% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC $4m 71.1%
UBS AG $1m 23.3%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC $317,986 5.6%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.63% 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 EWM has filed, with each borrower: EWM.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

29 positions became 30: 2 added (0.4% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 4.3%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of EWM compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

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 $366M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
