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

105 positions became 106: 12 added (5.8% of the fund at the later date), 11 dropped (8.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 20.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of FXO compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
