Who borrows EWN'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, $3m was out to 3 borrowers, 0.63% of net assets. The largest, Jefferies LLC, held 74.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
Jefferies LLC $3m 74.9%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $854,340 24.8%
SG AMERICAS SECURITIES LLC $12,064 0.3%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.64% of net assets, 102.1% 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 EWN has filed, with each borrower: EWN.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

58 positions became 57: 1 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (1.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of EWN 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 $550M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
