Returns the fund reported
2019-07 – 2026-06Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of QQEW's own filings, 84 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.07 percentage points over 84 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: QQEW.json · all funds.
Who borrows QQEW's shares
2025-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2025-06-30, $11m was out to 1 borrower, 0.57% of net assets.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| UBS AG | $11m | 100.0% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.60% of net assets, 105.4% 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 QQEW has filed, with each borrower: QQEW.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-03-31 → 2026-06-3052 positions became 52: 8 added (16.9% of the fund at the later date), 8 dropped (16.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 22.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.
