Who borrows TIP's shares

2026-07-31

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $78m was out to 2 borrowers. The largest, BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC., held 91.1% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $71m 91.1%
DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC $7m 8.9%

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.

Since the previous filing

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30

49 positions became 49: 2 added (3.3% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (3.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 3.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of TIP compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.
