FEP holdings

FEP reports 202 holdings and behaves like 160.4 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

5.0% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 114.7

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

5.05% collateral

FEP'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

2026-06-30

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

202 positions became 202: 80 added (34.1% of the fund at the later date), 80 dropped (29.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 47.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FEP compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
