Who borrows VONG'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, $12m was out to 9 borrowers, 0.02% of net assets. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 36.2% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BofA Securities, Inc. $4m 36.2%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $3m 26.2%
GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. $2m 19.4%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $932,949 7.9%
CLEAR STREET LLC $571,280 4.9%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.02% of net assets, 93.3% 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 VONG has filed, with each borrower: VONG.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

392 positions became 389: 2 added (0.0% 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: 7.2%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Asset categories and pricing

as of 2026-05-31

99.85% equity, 0.15% 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 $54.81B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $57M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
