5.1% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 24.3

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

5.1% collateral

PPA's filing lists 64 positions including 5.1% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 24.3 effective holdings with a top ten of 54.73%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 25.2 with a top ten of 54.7%. 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 filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

60 positions became 61: 2 added (1.4% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 9.4%.
