2Overlap with other funds
2Measured against every other fund on this site, from the same filings. Combined effective holdings is how the pair behaves held in equal size.
| With | Overlap | Shared | Combined effective |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCHI vs FXI | 52.76% | 49 | 28.4 |
| MCHI vs KWEB | 19.18% | 14 | 32 |
As filed, collateral included
2.52% collateralMCHI's filing lists 582 positions including 2.52% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 28.4 effective holdings with a top ten of 42.16%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 28.7 with a top ten of 41.43%. 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 MCHI's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $158m was out to 11 borrowers, 2.48% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 44.8% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $71m | 44.8% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $43m | 27.6% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $12m | 7.8% |
| UBS AG | $11m | 7.0% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $8m | 5.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.52% of net assets, 101.5% 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 MCHI has filed, with each borrower: MCHI.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31560 positions became 580: 40 added (1.9% of the fund at the later date), 20 dropped (0.6% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

10.1% of MCHI 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 2026-05-31A 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 $6.35B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
