As filed, collateral included
4.74% collateralFEM'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
2026-06-30The 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.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Merrill Lynch International | $8m | 28.7% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $8m | 27.5% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $6m | 19.7% |

| 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 → 2026-06-30152 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.
