Who borrows QQEW's shares

2025-06-30

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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 → 2026-06-30

52 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. Every filing of QQEW compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
