GSSC holdings
GSSC reports 1,320 holdings and behaves like 610.4 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 2026-05-31Read 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 560.2
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.

What stands out
as of 2026-05-31The largest line in GSSC's filing is not a stock but Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Obligations Fund, a short-term position at 1.45% of net assets. Ten companies are 6.56% of the fund; the other 1,310 share the rest. Among the 721 equity funds measured here, GSSC behaves like 610.4 holdings against a median of 42.4 — 14.4 times the median. Across 27 quarterly filings GSSC has become more concentrated: it behaved like 905 at 2019-11-29 and 610.4 at 2026-05-31. Between the 2026-02-28 and 2026-05-31 filings 66 positions were added and 72 dropped; 14.1% of the weight moved.

As filed, collateral included
1.22% collateralGSSC's filing lists 1,321 positions including 1.22% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 560.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 7.4%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 610.4 with a top ten of 6.56%. 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 GSSC's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $12m was out to 15 borrowers, 1.17% of net assets. The largest, BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, held 37.1% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON | $4m | 37.1% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $2m | 16.2% |
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $2m | 15.1% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. | $1m | 9.8% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $927,085 | 8.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.22% of net assets, 104.1% 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 GSSC has filed, with each borrower: GSSC.json · all funds.

100.0% of GSSC is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.0% 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 2026-05-31A 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 $986M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
