IBDQ reports 68 holdings and behaves like 1.9 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2025-10-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 25 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

Read this figure with the following in mind

73% held in short-term investment vehicles: this is a cash-like fund, and its holding count measures something different

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.

Who borrows IBDQ's shares

2025-07-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2025-07-31, $68m was out to 16 borrowers, 2.32% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 33.1% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $23m 33.1%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $13m 18.9%
PERSHING, LLC $8m 11.7%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $5m 7.0%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $5m 6.8%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.41% of net assets, 103.7% 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 IBDQ has filed, with each borrower: IBDQ.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2025-07-31 → 2025-10-31

211 positions became 68: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 143 dropped (51.7% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 52.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of IBDQ compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
