As filed, collateral included

3.41% collateral

FLOT's filing lists 547 positions including 3.41% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 237.4 effective holdings with a top ten of 11.84%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 324.5 with a top ten of 9.25%. 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 FLOT's shares

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

511 positions became 530: 52 added (6.3% of the fund at the later date), 33 dropped (6.6% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 10.3%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
