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 2026-05-31

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 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 2026-05-31

The 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.

Each sentence is read from the fund's own SEC filing; the class median is computed across the comparable equity funds on this site. Nothing here is a view on the fund.

As filed, collateral included

1.22% collateral

GSSC'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

2026-05-31

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

1,326 positions became 1,320: 66 added (2.1% of the fund at the later date), 72 dropped (2.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 14.1%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of GSSC compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

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 2026-05-31

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 $986M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
