Who borrows VDE'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, $9m was out to 10 borrowers, 0.07% of net assets. The largest, MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC, held 41.9% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $4m 41.9%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $2m 19.6%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $2m 18.5%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $907,210 10.3%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $278,774 3.2%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.09% of net assets, 121.1% 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 VDE has filed, with each borrower: VDE.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

108 positions became 106: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (1.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 5.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of VDE compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

Asset categories and pricing

as of 2026-05-31

99.84% equity, 0.16% short-term investment as filed; 100.0% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

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 $11.79B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

99.51%Stocks held directly
0.53%Swap notional (4)
0%Futures notional (0)
100%Sum, % of net assets
Swap counterpartyNotional% of net assets
Bank of America NA$61M0.52%

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $61M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
