Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.28% of net assets, 3.9% 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 PPH has filed, with each borrower: PPH.json · all funds.
