Returns the fund reported
2019-07 – 2026-06Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of VUG's own filings, 84 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.04 percentage points over 84 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: VUG.json · all funds.
Who borrows VUG's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $917m was out to 22 borrowers, 0.24% of net assets. The largest, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, held 34% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Wells Fargo Securities LLC | $312m | 34.0% |
| National Financial Services LLC | $97m | 10.5% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $62m | 6.8% |
| NOMURA SECURITIES INTERNATIONAL INC. | $56m | 6.1% |
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $42m | 4.6% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.22% of net assets, 91% 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 VUG has filed, with each borrower: VUG.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30154 positions became 148: 7 added (1.7% of the fund at the later date), 13 dropped (1.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 10.1%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Asset categories and pricing
as of 2026-06-3099.69% equity, 0.31% 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 2026-06-30A 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 $379.29B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
| Swap counterparty | Notional | % of net assets |
|---|---|---|
| Bank of America NA | $147M | 0.04% |
Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $147M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
