FEM holdings

FEM reports 153 holdings and behaves like 104.8 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 29 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

4.7% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 85.9

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.

As filed, collateral included

4.74% collateral

FEM's filing lists 154 positions including 4.74% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 85.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 21.76%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 104.8 with a top ten of 18.43%. 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.

Who borrows FEM's shares

2026-06-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $28m was out to 8 borrowers, 3.79% of net assets. The largest, Merrill Lynch International, held 28.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
Merrill Lynch International $8m 28.7%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $8m 27.5%
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL $6m 19.7%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED $2m 7.6%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $2m 7.4%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 4.74% of net assets, 125.2% 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 FEM has filed, with each borrower: FEM.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

152 positions became 152: 77 added (50.5% of the fund at the later date), 77 dropped (39.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 57.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FEM compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
