As filed, collateral included
9.36% collateralSLVP'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
2026-05-31The 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.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $45m | 48.1% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $18m | 18.9% |
| National Financial Services LLC | $16m | 17.4% |

| 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.

86.6% of SLVP 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 2026-05-31A 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 $999M. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
