EWO holdings
EWO reports 23 holdings and behaves like 10.9 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 filed, collateral included
1.29% collateralEWO's filing lists 24 positions including 1.29% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 11.1 effective holdings with a top ten of 76.65%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 10.9 with a top ten of 77.52%. 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 EWO'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: EWO.json · all funds.
Who borrows EWO'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, $2m was out to 3 borrowers, 1.22% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 70.7% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $1m | 70.7% |
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $343,357 | 20.7% |
| BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP | $144,093 | 8.7% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.29% of net assets, 105.9% 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 EWO has filed, with each borrower: EWO.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-3123 positions became 23: 1 added (0.1% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

12.9% of EWO 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 2026-05-31A 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 $136M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
