SPEM holdings

SPEM reports 2,921 holdings and behaves like 41.1 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-06-30. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 28 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-06-30

Read this figure with the following in mind

1.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 40.5

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.

Across 28 quarterly filings SPEM has become more concentrated: it behaved like 149.7 at 2019-09-30 and 41.1 at 2026-06-30. Between the 2026-03-31 and 2026-06-30 filings 10 positions were added and 42 dropped; 12.0% of the weight moved. Taiwan is the largest country at 31.93% of the portfolio, across 36 countries in the filing.

As filed, collateral included

1.59% collateral

SPEM'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

2026-06-30

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

2,938 positions became 2,906: 10 added (0.2% of the fund at the later date), 42 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 12.0%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-06-30

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 $17.31B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
