Who borrows FWD's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $22m was out to 4 borrowers, 0.75% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC, held 80.5% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INTERNATIONAL PLC | $17m | 80.5% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $4m | 16.5% |
| UBS AG | $452,228 | 2.1% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $180,505 | 0.8% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.01% of net assets, 1.3% 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 FWD has filed, with each borrower: FWD.json · all funds.
