Returns the fund reported
2019-09 – 2026-05Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of PFFD's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
No compounded figure is shown. This site's two readings of PFFD's monthly returns — the filed figures and a series computed from prices — differ by a median of 1.72 percentage points over 81 months, more than distributions explain. Which is wrong cannot be told from the filings; the others in the same position are listed here.
Who borrows PFFD'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, $9m was out to 1 borrower, 0.43% of net assets.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Wells Fargo Securities LLC | $9m | 100.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.44% of net assets, 103.3% 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 PFFD has filed, with each borrower: PFFD.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31207 positions became 224: 27 added (8.2% of the fund at the later date), 10 dropped (5.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 10.0%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
