| preferred equity EP | 0.26% |
66.3% of VT 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 2026-04-30A 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 $89.90B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
| Swap counterparty | Notional | % of net assets |
|---|---|---|
| Bank of America NA | $71M | 0.08% |
| CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $8M | 0.01% |
| JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $2M | 0% |
Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $80M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
