FNDC holdings

FNDC reports 1,582 holdings and behaves like 971 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

4.3% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 345.9

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

4.33% collateral

FNDC's filing lists 1,583 positions including 4.33% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 345.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 7.71%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 971 with a top ten of 3.66%. 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 FNDC's shares

2026-05-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $125m was out to 10 borrowers, 4.01% of net assets. The largest, CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., held 29.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $37m 29.9%
BofA Securities, Inc. $29m 23.3%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $19m 15.3%
BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $11m 8.7%
BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP $9m 6.9%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 4.33% of net assets, 107.9% 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 FNDC has filed, with each borrower: FNDC.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

1,466 positions became 1,581: 133 added (2.0% of the fund at the later date), 18 dropped (0.9% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 11.1%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FNDC compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

100.0% of FNDC is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.0% at level 3, priced from the filer's own inputs. Categories and levels are the filer's, from Form N-PORT; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

A position count cannot describe a fund that uses derivatives, because a swap is filed at its unrealised gain, not its exposure. These are the notionals the fund itself reported, against net assets of $3.11B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
