As filed, collateral included
1.05% collateralGDXJ'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.

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.
