SCZ holdings
SCZ reports 2,073 holdings and behaves like 1093 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-07-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.
Measured concentration

4.7% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 321.5
The figure below is what the filing says, published unchanged. What it may not do is sit beside a plain long-only fund and be read as the same quantity. How comparability is decided.

As filed, collateral included
4.69% collateralSCZ's filing lists 2,074 positions including 4.69% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 321.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 7.14%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 1093 with a top ten of 2.7%. 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.

The filing reports no cash collateral position against this loan. Collateral taken in a form the fund does not hold as a position does not appear in N-PORT, so this is silence rather than absence.

12.8% of SCZ is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). 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 2026-04-30A 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 $14.39B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Why 2,017 IWM Holdings Read as 33: Securities Lending in the Russell 2000 ETF
IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF, files 2,017 holdings but our concentration measure read it as 33. The cause is a 17% cash-collateral position from securities lending, flagged in the filing itself; set it aside and the fund's own investments behave like about 840. Seventy-three funds on this site, including IJH, IJR, RSP, LQD and HYG, had the same problem. What we found, what we changed today, and what is still open.
