Who borrows VIG'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, $8m was out to 1 borrower.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON $8m 100.0%

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

341 positions became 334: 17 added (2.0% of the fund at the later date), 24 dropped (1.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.8%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

99.72% equity, 0.28% 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 2026-04-30

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 $124.65B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Swap counterpartyNotional% of net assets
Bank of America NA$543M0.44%
Goldman Sachs International$67M0.05%
CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION$46M0.04%

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $656M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
