FXI holdings

FXI reports 54 holdings and behaves like 21.7 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-07-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.2% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 21.9

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

1.24% collateral

FXI's filing lists 55 positions including 1.24% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 21.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 58.51%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 21.7 with a top ten of 58.83%. 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 FXI'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, $51m was out to 5 borrowers. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 88% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $45m 88.0%

STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY $936,296 1.8%
BofA Securities, Inc. $746,135 1.5%
BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP $161,862 0.3%

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

54 positions became 54: 3 added (1.4% of the fund at the later date), 3 dropped (0.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FXI compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

1.4% of FXI is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). 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 2026-04-30

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 $6.07B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
