Who borrows VOX'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, $26m was out to 10 borrowers, 0.39% of net assets. The largest, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, held 25.6% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
Wells Fargo Securities LLC $7m 25.6%
TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC $6m 23.7%
BofA Securities, Inc. $5m 20.4%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $4m 16.0%
BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP $2m 7.5%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.28% of net assets, 71.7% 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 VOX has filed, with each borrower: VOX.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

118 positions became 116: 2 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 4 dropped (0.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.9%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of VOX compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

100.0% of VOX is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). 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 2026-05-31

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 $6.59B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

0%Futures notional (0)
99.9%Sum, % of net assets

Bank of America NA$13M0.2%
Goldman Sachs International$5M0.08%

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $19M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
