As filed, collateral included
1.55% collateralRING's filing lists 54 positions including 1.55% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 14.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 68.01%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 14.5 with a top ten of 68.13%. 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 RING's shares
2026-05-31The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $43m was out to 6 borrowers, 1.54% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 47.6% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $20m | 47.6% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $9m | 20.5% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $8m | 17.8% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $3m | 7.8% |
| HSBC BANK PLC | $2m | 5.3% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.55% of net assets, 100.6% 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 RING has filed, with each borrower: RING.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-3143 positions became 51: 10 added (0.4% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (2.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 5.5%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-05-31A position count cannot describe a fund that uses derivatives, because a swap is filed at its unrealised gain, not its exposure. These are the notionals the fund itself reported, against net assets of $2.79B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
