Who borrows IQLT'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, $68m was out to 3 borrowers. The largest, JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC, held 94.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $64m 94.6%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $2m 3.2%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $1m 2.2%

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

305 positions became 313: 20 added (3.1% of the fund at the later date), 12 dropped (3.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-04-30

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 $12.89B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
