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

127 positions became 126: 17 added (9.0% of the fund at the later date), 18 dropped (7.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 13.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-04-30

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 $1.37B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
