Who borrows VFH'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, $6m was out to 7 borrowers, 0.05% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 49.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $3m 49.6%
National Financial Services LLC $1m 16.8%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $941,407 15.2%
Velocity Clearing LLC $425,784 6.9%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $282,949 4.6%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.04% of net assets, 86.8% 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 VFH has filed, with each borrower: VFH.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

416 positions became 413: 2 added (0.1% of the fund at the later date), 5 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 4.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of VFH compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

Asset categories and pricing

as of 2026-05-31

96.30% equity, 3.69% 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 $13.45B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $498M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
