Who borrows EWZS's shares

2026-02-28

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-02-28, $5m was out to 3 borrowers, 1.28% of net assets. The largest, TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC, held 76% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC $4m 76.0%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $726,264 15.5%
CITADEL CLEARING LLC $396,851 8.5%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.47% of net assets, 114.6% 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 EWZS has filed, with each borrower: EWZS.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

72 positions became 74: 6 added (3.3% of the fund at the later date), 4 dropped (1.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of EWZS compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

99.7% of EWZS 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 $251M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
