IQDF holdings

Measured concentration

2.1% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 98.3
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
2.15% collateralIQDF's filing lists 232 positions including 2.15% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 98.3 effective holdings with a top ten of 20.18%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 100.1 with a top ten of 19.9%. 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.

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.

97.9% of IQDF is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). 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 2026-04-30A 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 $1.10B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
