As filed, collateral included
17.37% collateralFALN's filing lists 160 positions including 17.37% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 25.6 effective holdings with a top ten of 33.61%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 109.6 with a top ten of 17.8%. 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.
