As filed, collateral included
1.94% collateralQCLN's filing lists 54 positions including 1.94% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 21.6 effective holdings with a top ten of 58.65%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 21.8 with a top ten of 58.64%. 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 QCLN's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $16m was out to 12 borrowers, 1.92% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 21.2% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $3m | 21.2% |
| BNP PARIBAS PRIME BROKERAGE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED | $3m | 20.8% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $3m | 16.3% |
| STATE STREET BANK & TRUST COMPANY | $2m | 11.6% |
| Wells Fargo Securities LLC | $2m | 10.9% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.94% of net assets, 101.1% 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 QCLN has filed, with each borrower: QCLN.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-03-31 → 2026-06-3053 positions became 53: 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: 9.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
