PFXF holdings

PFXF reports 115 holdings and behaves like 36.3 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 28 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

2.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 36.0

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.

As filed, collateral included

2.58% collateral

PFXF's filing lists 116 positions including 2.58% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 36 effective holdings with a top ten of 42.37%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 36.3 with a top ten of 42.43%. 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 PFXF's shares

2026-06-30

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $122m was out to 20 borrowers, 4.64% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 26.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $33m 26.7%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $24m 19.4%
BofA Securities, Inc. $20m 16.4%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $15m 12.0%
UBS AG $12m 9.7%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.58% of net assets, 55.6% 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 PFXF has filed, with each borrower: PFXF.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

113 positions became 115: 6 added (6.7% of the fund at the later date), 4 dropped (2.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 13.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of PFXF compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
