As filed, collateral included
1.59% collateralSPEM's filing lists 2,922 positions including 1.59% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 40.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 27.12%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 41.1 with a top ten of 26.27%. 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 SPEM's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $1.2bn was out to 31 borrowers, 6.86% of net assets. The largest, Barclays Capital Securities Ltd., held 19.1% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Barclays Capital Securities Ltd. | $226m | 19.1% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED | $148m | 12.5% |
| J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC | $143m | 12.1% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $120m | 10.1% |
| BNP Paribas Financial Markets | $110m | 9.3% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 1.59% of net assets, 23.2% 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 SPEM has filed, with each borrower: SPEM.json · all funds.

Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-06-30A 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 $17.31B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
