GEM holdings

GEM reports 745 holdings and behaves like 31.3 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.2% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 30.5

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

1.17% collateral

GEM's filing lists 746 positions including 1.17% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 30.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 39.14%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 31.3 with a top ten of 38.28%. 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 GEM's shares

2026-05-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $16m was out to 14 borrowers, 0.97% of net assets. The largest, CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED, held 20.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED $3m 20.6%
TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC $3m 15.5%
JEFFERIES INTERNATIONAL LTD $2m 12.3%
Merrill Lynch International $2m 10.8%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $2m 9.7%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.17% of net assets, 121.1% 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 GEM has filed, with each borrower: GEM.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

729 positions became 743: 90 added (3.6% of the fund at the later date), 76 dropped (3.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 16.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of GEM compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

96.8% of GEM is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.1% at level 3, priced from the filer's own inputs. 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 2026-05-31

A 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 $1.67B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
