Who borrows FXN's shares

2025-04-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2025-04-30, $591,903 was out to 2 borrowers, 0.22% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 63.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $378,303 63.9%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $213,600 36.1%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.24% of net assets, 108.6% 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 FXN has filed, with each borrower: FXN.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

39 positions became 38: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (4.7% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 20.0%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FXN compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
