Who borrows VUG's shares

2026-06-30

The 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.

BorrowerOn loanShare 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 → 2026-06-30

154 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. Every filing of VUG compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

99.69% 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 2026-06-30

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 $379.29B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

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.
