IXJ holdings

IXJ reports 123 holdings and behaves like 29.5 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

1.1% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 29.5

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

1.06% collateral

IXJ'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

2026-06-30

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

124 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. Every filing of IXJ compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

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 $3.84B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
