Who borrows FDL's shares

2024-09-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2024-09-30, $24 was out to 1 borrower, 0.00% of net assets.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $24 100.0%

The filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence. What the collateral figure can and cannot show. Every quarter FDL has filed, with each borrower: FDL.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

87 positions became 101: 35 added (31.4% of the fund at the later date), 21 dropped (31.8% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 34.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FDL compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
