VPL holdings

VPL reports 2,349 holdings and behaves like 88.7 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

1.3% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 88.1

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

1.28% collateral

VPL's filing lists 2,350 positions including 1.28% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 88.1 effective holdings with a top ten of 23.9%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 88.7 with a top ten of 23.89%. 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 VPL's shares

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

2,341 positions became 2,335: 40 added (0.3% of the fund at the later date), 46 dropped (0.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 8.3%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

1.4% of VPL is carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1); 0.0% 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 $13.06B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
