Returns the fund reported
2019-09 – 2026-05Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of SCHE's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.56 percentage points over 81 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: SCHE.json · all funds.
Who borrows SCHE'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, $60m was out to 5 borrowers, 0.47% of net assets. The largest, CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., held 45.8% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. | $27m | 45.8% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $14m | 23.1% |
| BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. | $9m | 15.8% |
| BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP | $8m | 13.2% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $1m | 2.1% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.52% of net assets, 110.4% 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 SCHE has filed, with each borrower: SCHE.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-02-28 → 2026-05-312,133 positions became 2,178: 92 added (1.2% of the fund at the later date), 47 dropped (0.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 9.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

99.9% of SCHE is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.1% at level 3, priced from the filer's own inputs. Categories and levels are the filer's, from Form N-PORT; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.
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 $12.74B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
