99.0% of net assets is derivative exposure, where position value and economic exposure are not the same quantity
The figure below is what the filing says, published unchanged. What it may not do is sit beside a plain long-only fund and be read as the same quantity. How comparability is decided.
Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing; what the measure does not tell you · every fund in one table · hold it with other funds? X-ray the mix. Pricing: 0.99% at a quoted market price (level 1), one issuer country.

Asset categories and pricing
as of 2026-05-3199.01% derivative, 0.99% short-term investment as filed; 1.0% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; 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 $1.14B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
