IWO holdings

IWO reports 1,136 holdings and behaves like 409.7 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 28 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

14.8% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 41.4

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

14.75% collateral

IWO's filing lists 1,137 positions including 14.75% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 41.4 effective holdings with a top ten of 20.27%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 409.7 with a top ten of 6.06%. 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 IWO's shares

2026-06-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $2.2bn was out to 31 borrowers, 14.38% of net assets. The largest, JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC, held 20.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $464m 20.9%
BofA Securities, Inc. $267m 12.0%
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL $244m 11.0%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $220m 9.9%
BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED $210m 9.5%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 14.75% of net assets, 102.6% 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

1,101 positions became 1,133: 304 added (17.0% of the fund at the later date), 272 dropped (31.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 39.8%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

87.09% equity, 12.91% short-term investment as filed; 100.0% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-06-30

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 $15.43B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

  • Why 2,017 IWM Holdings Read as 33: Securities Lending in the Russell 2000 ETF

    IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF, files 2,017 holdings but our concentration measure read it as 33. The cause is a 17% cash-collateral position from securities lending, flagged in the filing itself; set it aside and the fund's own investments behave like about 840. Seventy-three funds on this site, including IJH, IJR, RSP, LQD and HYG, had the same problem. What we found, what we changed today, and what is still open.
