Measured concentration
as of 2026-07-31Read this figure with the following in mind
1.6% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 115.2
The figure below is what the filing says, published unchanged. What it may not do is sit beside a plain long-only fund and be read as the same quantity. How comparability is decided.

As filed, collateral included
1.55% collateralVNQI's filing lists 730 positions including 1.55% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 115.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 22.19%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 117.1 with a top ten of 22.17%. The collateral is matched by a liability and is not a holding the fund chose; since 2026-09-18 every figure on this site sets it aside (methodology). Both numbers are in the data.

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.

6.2% of VNQI is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.1% at level 3, priced from the filer's own inputs. Categories and levels are the filer's, from Form N-PORT; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.
Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-04-30A 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 $3.90B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
| Swap counterparty | Notional | % of net assets |
|---|---|---|
| CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $11M | 0.28% |
| Bank of America NA | $5M | 0.13% |
Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $16M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
