LQD holdings

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: 7.7% at a quoted market price (level 1), 16 issuer countries.

The largest line in LQD's filing is not a stock but BlackRock Cash Funds: Treasury, SL Agency Shares, a short-term position at 0.95% of net assets. Ten companies are 2.41% of the fund; the other 3,126 share the rest. Among the 192 bond funds measured here, LQD behaves like 1889.9 holdings against a median of 236.4 — 8.0 times the median. Across 27 quarterly filings LQD has become less concentrated: it behaved like 1399 at 2019-11-30 and 1889.9 at 2026-05-31. Between the 2026-02-28 and 2026-05-31 filings 169 positions were added and 126 dropped; 16.2% of the weight moved. the United States is the largest country at 88.95% of the portfolio, across 16 countries in the filing.

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

Between 2019-11-30 and 2026-05-31, LQD went from behaving like 1399 equally weighted positions to 1889.9 — 35% more, while its top ten went from 2.91% to 2.41% of net assets. Read across the funds on the concentration-over-time table.

One row per filed reporting period, newest first, read from EDGAR. Quarterly because that is the public filing cadence. Rows marked * are published but held out of the comparison above; the methodology page says when and why.

Measured against every other fund on this site, from the same filings. Combined effective holdings is how the pair behaves held in equal size.

LQD's filing lists 3,137 positions including 7.23% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 173.9 effective holdings with a top ten of 9.48%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 1889.9 with a top ten of 2.41%. 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.

The 15 largest of 3,136 positions in LQD's Form N-PORT, weight as a share of net assets, securities-lending collateral excluded. Every position, every quarter: listed with the point-in-time files, available on request.

Share of LQD's own investments by the issuer country the filer reported (incorporation, not revenue). Each country links to every fund that holds it.

Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of LQD's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.

Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.12 percentage points over 81 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: LQD.json · all funds.

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $2.1bn was out to 27 borrowers, 7.00% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS & CO., held 24.3% of it.

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 7.23% of net assets, 103.2% 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 LQD has filed, with each borrower: LQD.json · all funds.

3,093 positions became 3,136: 169 added (6.5% of the fund at the later date), 126 dropped (2.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 16.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of LQD compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

New: AMAZON.COM INC (0.16%), AMAZON.COM INC (0.14%), AMAZON.COM INC (0.13%), META PLATFORMS INC (0.11%), JPMORGAN CHASE & CO (0.11%), SALESFORCE INC (0.11%). Gone: CENTENE CORP (0.06%), CITIGROUP INC (0.05%), CITIGROUP INC (0.05%), MORGAN STANLEY (0.05%), GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC (0.05%), JPMORGAN CHASE & CO (0.05%).

92.30% debt, 7.70% short-term investment as filed; 7.7% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

Every measured debt fund lined up by how many holdings it behaves like; these sit either side of LQD (1889.9). Same filings, same arithmetic. Position in this list says nothing about which fund is better.

• Why 2,017 IWM Holdings Read as 33: Securities Lending in the Russell 2000 ETF

  IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF, files 2,017 holdings but our concentration measure read it as 33. The cause is a 17% cash-collateral position from securities lending, flagged in the filing itself; set it aside and the fund's own investments behave like about 840. Seventy-three funds on this site, including IJH, IJR, RSP, LQD and HYG, had the same problem. What we found, what we changed today, and what is still open.
