As filed, collateral included
5.05% collateralFEP's filing lists 203 positions including 5.05% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 114.7 effective holdings with a top ten of 14.31%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 160.4 with a top ten of 10.24%. 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 FEP'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, $24m was out to 10 borrowers, 4.82% of net assets. The largest, Merrill Lynch International, held 24.8% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Merrill Lynch International | $6m | 24.8% |
| BNP Paribas Financial Markets | $6m | 23.6% |
| UBS AG | $3m | 13.3% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED | $2m | 9.8% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $2m | 8.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 5.05% of net assets, 104.8% 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 FEP has filed, with each borrower: FEP.json · all funds.
