Who borrows GOVT's shares

2026-07-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $96m was out to 2 borrowers. The largest, STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY, held 51.9% of it.

STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY $50m 51.9%
Societe Generale $46m 48.1%

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

210 positions became 224: 14 added (5.1% of the fund at the later date), 0 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 5.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of GOVT compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
