As filed, collateral included
1.06% collateralIXJ's filing lists 124 positions including 1.06% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 29.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 47.79%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 29.5 with a top ten of 47.87%. 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 IXJ's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $40m was out to 8 borrowers, 1.04% of net assets. The largest, UBS AG, held 30.6% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| UBS AG | $12m | 30.6% |
| STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY | $10m | 26.1% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL | $5m | 13.2% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. | $4m | 10.7% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $4m | 9.2% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.06% of net assets, 101.7% 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 IXJ has filed, with each borrower: IXJ.json · all funds.

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30124 positions became 123: 4 added (0.4% of the fund at the later date), 5 dropped (0.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

71.7% of IXJ 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 2026-06-30A 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 $3.84B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
