Who borrows PPH'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, $63m was out to 6 borrowers, 7.11% of net assets. The largest, BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, held 55.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED $35m 55.7%
HSBC BANK PLC $23m 37.1%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $2m 3.7%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $2m 2.7%
PERSHING, LLC $475,602 0.8%

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.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

25 positions became 25: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 0 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 4.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of PPH compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
