Who borrows FTC'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, $4m was out to 2 borrowers. The largest, BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, held 80.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED $3m 80.9%
Scotia Capital (USA) Inc $779,539 19.1%

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

188 positions became 188: 68 added (43.3% of the fund at the later date), 68 dropped (23.8% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 46.1%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FTC compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
