Who borrows MOAT's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $280m was out to 9 borrowers, 2.40% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 53.9% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BARCLAYS BANK PLC | $151m | 53.9% |
| BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED | $62m | 22.1% |
| STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY | $28m | 10.1% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $20m | 7.2% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $14m | 5.1% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.01% of net assets, 0.4% 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 MOAT has filed, with each borrower: MOAT.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-03-31 → 2026-06-3057 positions became 55: 7 added (9.0% of the fund at the later date), 9 dropped (9.8% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 19.5%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
