Measured concentration

as of 2026-05-31

Read this figure with the following in mind

2.2% of net assets is securities-lending cash collateral, excluded from the figure; counted as filed the fund would read 413.5

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

2.18% collateral

VTWO's filing lists 1,955 positions including 2.18% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 413.5 effective holdings with a top ten of 9.48%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 513.7 with a top ten of 7.78%. 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 VTWO'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, $365m was out to 29 borrowers, 2.08% of net assets. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 21.7% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BofA Securities, Inc. $79m 21.7%
Wells Fargo Securities LLC $63m 17.2%
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $39m 10.7%
JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC $38m 10.5%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $37m 10.1%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 2.18% of net assets, 104.7% 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 VTWO has filed, with each borrower: VTWO.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-02-28 → 2026-05-31

1,960 positions became 1,945: 41 added (0.6% of the fund at the later date), 56 dropped (1.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 11.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

100.0% of VTWO 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 2026-05-31

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 $17.53B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Bank of America NA$16M0.09%
CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION$6M0.03%

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $22M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
