QEFA holdings

QEFA reports 646 holdings and behaves like 181.8 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

Read this figure with the following in mind

2.5% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 165.5

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

2.49% collateral

QEFA's filing lists 647 positions including 2.49% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 165.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 16.88%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 181.8 with a top ten of 15.54%. 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 QEFA'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, $47m was out to 19 borrowers, 4.56% of net assets. The largest, GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL, held 28.3% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
GOLDMAN SACHS INTERNATIONAL $13m 28.3%
J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC $10m 21.2%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $6m 13.6%
TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC $3m 7.4%
BofA Securities, Inc. $3m 5.5%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.49% of net assets, 54.6% 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 QEFA has filed, with each borrower: QEFA.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

656 positions became 643: 15 added (0.3% of the fund at the later date), 28 dropped (1.1% 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.
