GDXJ holdings

GDXJ reports 116 holdings and behaves like 37.5 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 28 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.1% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 37.4

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

1.05% collateral

GDXJ's filing lists 117 positions including 1.05% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 37.4 effective holdings with a top ten of 42.69%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 37.5 with a top ten of 42.72%. 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 GDXJ's shares

2026-06-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $311m was out to 29 borrowers, 4.39% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 26.1% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $81m 26.1%
NOMURA SECURITIES INTERNATIONAL INC. $36m 11.6%
BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED $32m 10.4%
BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $29m 9.2%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $22m 7.1%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.05% of net assets, 23.9% 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 GDXJ has filed, with each borrower: GDXJ.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

112 positions became 114: 3 added (0.9% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.6% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of GDXJ compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
