ISCF holdings

ISCF reports 1,180 holdings and behaves like 557.1 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-07-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

5.9% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 191.1

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

5.87% collateral

ISCF's filing lists 1,181 positions including 5.87% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 191.1 effective holdings with a top ten of 11.12%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 557.1 with a top ten of 5.69%. 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 ISCF'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, $36m was out to 15 borrowers. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 47.2% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $17m 47.2%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $7m 19.2%
BofA Securities, Inc. $4m 11.4%
UBS AG $3m 7.1%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $2m 6.8%

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

1,109 positions became 1,162: 127 added (5.1% of the fund at the later date), 74 dropped (6.7% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 13.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

22.9% of ISCF 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 2026-04-30

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 $633M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
