Who borrows VIS'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, $7m was out to 8 borrowers, 0.09% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 53.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $4m 53.7%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $902,175 12.3%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $812,475 11.1%
BofA Securities, Inc. $530,620 7.2%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $447,640 6.1%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.09% of net assets, 102.3% 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 VIS has filed, with each borrower: VIS.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

388 positions became 382: 1 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 7 dropped (0.2% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.6%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Derivative exposure and counterparties

as of 2026-05-31

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 $8.36B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $32M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
