KORU holdings

KORU reports 5 holdings and behaves like 2.2 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

This figure is not comparable with other funds

swap and futures notional is 242% of net assets: the fund's exposure is delivered by derivatives, and a count of its filed positions does not describe it. See the exposure section for what the notional is written on

41.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 1.8

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.

Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing; what the measure does not tell you · every fund in one table · hold it with other funds? X-ray the mix. Pricing: 91.69% at a quoted market price (level 1), one issuer country.

What stands out

as of 2026-07-31

The largest line in KORU's filing is not a stock but Ishares Msci South Korea ETF, a equity position at 51.33% of net assets.

Each sentence is read from the fund's own SEC filing; the class median is computed across the comparable short-term funds on this site. Nothing here is a view on the fund.

As filed, collateral included

41.63% collateral

KORU's filing lists 6 positions including 41.63% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 1.8 effective holdings with a top ten of 134.26%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 2.2 with a top ten of 100%. 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.

4 positions became 4: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 0 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 15.5%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

91.7% of KORU 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 2026-04-30

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 $1.55B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays 1 month Sofr + spread + 4.552% on $3.86B of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
