Who borrows FEX's shares

2026-07-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $3m was out to 1 borrower.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
Scotia Capital (USA) Inc $3m 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

376 positions became 376: 76 added (20.6% of the fund at the later date), 76 dropped (12.7% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 31.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FEX compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
