Measured concentration

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.4% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 228.7

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

1.41% collateral

IXUS's filing lists 4,522 positions including 1.41% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 228.7 effective holdings with a top ten of 14.42%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 239.4 with a top ten of 13.62%. 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 IXUS'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, $805m was out to 23 borrowers. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 27.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $222m 27.6%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $151m 18.7%
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL $95m 11.8%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $80m 9.9%
BofA Securities, Inc. $76m 9.5%

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

4,176 positions became 4,166: 55 added (1.3% of the fund at the later date), 65 dropped (1.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.6%. 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 $56.23B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
