LABU holdings

LABU reports 155 holdings and behaves like 27.3 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 233% 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

15.9% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 13.7

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.

What stands out

as of 2026-07-31

The largest line in LABU's filing is not a stock but Goldman Finl SQ Trsry Inst 506, a short-term position at 6.66% of net assets. Between the 2026-01-31 and 2026-04-30 filings 12 positions were added and 12 dropped; 29.7% of the weight moved.

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

As filed, collateral included

15.86% collateral

LABU's filing lists 156 positions including 15.86% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 13.7 effective holdings with a top ten of 64.77%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 27.3 with a top ten of 43.68%. 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 LABU'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, $19m was out to 10 borrowers. The largest, BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC., held 24.2% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $4m 24.2%
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB $4m 23.9%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $3m 16.5%
Wells Fargo Securities LLC $3m 13.6%
Jefferies LLC $2m 12.8%

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

148 positions became 148: 12 added (1.9% of the fund at the later date), 12 dropped (4.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 29.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of LABU compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

79.3% of LABU 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 $519M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays 1 month Sofr + spread + 4.346% on $1.13B of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
