VNQI holdings

VNQI reports 729 holdings and behaves like 117.1 equally weighted ones, computed from its SEC Form N-PORT filing for 2026-07-31. The fact sheet publishes the first number; this page computes the second, and traces it across 27 quarters of filings.

Measured concentration

as of 2026-07-31

Read 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% collateral

VNQI'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.

Who borrows VNQI'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, $53m was out to 12 borrowers. The largest, J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC, held 21.9% of it.

MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $6m 11.5%

BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC. $5m 9.9%

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

708 positions became 703: 4 added (0.4% of the fund at the later date), 9 dropped (0.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 4.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

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 2026-04-30

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 $3.90B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Swap counterpartyNotional% of net assets
CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION$11M0.28%
Bank of America NA$5M0.13%

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.
