SLVP holdings

SLVP reports 47 holdings and behaves like 15.2 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-05-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

9.4% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 13.5

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

9.36% collateral

SLVP's filing lists 48 positions including 9.36% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 13.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 75.14%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 15.2 with a top ten of 69.95%. 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 SLVP's shares

2026-05-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-05-31, $94m was out to 6 borrowers, 9.41% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 48.1% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $45m 48.1%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $18m 18.9%
National Financial Services LLC $16m 17.4%
BofA Securities, Inc. $8m 8.3%
Jefferies LLC $7m 6.9%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 9.36% of net assets, 99.4% 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 SLVP has filed, with each borrower: SLVP.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

32 positions became 46: 16 added (3.3% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (1.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of SLVP compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

A 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 $999M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
