As filed, collateral included
9.65% collateralQLTA's filing lists 3,503 positions including 9.65% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 102.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 11.31%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 2213.7 with a top ten of 1.83%. 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.
