As filed, collateral included
1.24% collateralFXI'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.

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 2026-04-30A 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.
