Returns the fund reported
2019-09 – 2026-05Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of EWZS's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.

Who borrows EWZS's shares
2026-02-28The 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.
| Borrower | On loan | Share 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 → 2026-05-3172 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.

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