VWO holdings

Computed by this site from the fund's SEC Form N-PORT filing; what the measure does not tell you · every fund in one table · hold it with other funds? X-ray the mix. Pricing: 12.38% at a quoted market price (level 1), 27 issuer countries, 4.55% restricted securities.

VWO's largest investment is TSMC at 14.61% of net assets. Tencent and Baba-w follow; the three together are 20.42%. Ten companies are 27.9% of the fund; the other 6,369 share the rest. Among the 721 equity funds measured here, VWO behaves like 36.6 holdings against a median of 42.4 — close to the median. Across 27 quarterly filings VWO has become more concentrated: it behaved like 150.9 at 2019-10-31 and 41 at 2026-04-30. Between the 2026-01-31 and 2026-04-30 filings 106 positions were added and 69 dropped; 9.4% of the weight moved. Taiwan is the largest country at 29.49% of the portfolio, across 27 countries in the filing.

Each sentence is read from the fund's own SEC filing; the class median is computed across the comparable equity funds on this site. Nothing here is a view on the fund.

Between 2019-10-31 and 2026-04-30, VWO went from behaving like 150.9 equally weighted positions to 41 — 73% fewer, while its top ten went from 20.11% to 27.19% of net assets. Read across the funds on the concentration-over-time table.

One row per filed reporting period, newest first, read from EDGAR. Quarterly because that is the public filing cadence. Rows marked * are published but held out of the comparison above; the methodology page says when and why.

Measured against every other fund on this site, from the same filings. Combined effective holdings is how the pair behaves held in equal size.

VWO's filing lists 6,380 positions including 2.87% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 35.2 effective holdings with a top ten of 30.11%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 36.6 with a top ten of 27.9%. 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.

The 15 largest of 6,379 positions in VWO's Form N-PORT, weight as a share of net assets, securities-lending collateral excluded. Every position, every quarter: listed with the point-in-time files, available on request.

Share of VWO's own investments by the issuer country the filer reported (incorporation, not revenue). Each country links to every fund that holds it.

Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of VWO's own filings, 81 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.

Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.26 percentage points over 81 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: VWO.json · all funds.

The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-07-31, $4.4bn was out to 22 borrowers. The largest, J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES PLC, held 34.6% of it.

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. What the collateral figure can and cannot show. Every quarter VWO has filed, with each borrower: VWO.json · all funds.

4,925 positions became 4,962: 106 added (0.7% of the fund at the later date), 69 dropped (0.3% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 9.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of VWO compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

12.4% of VWO 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.

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 $159.90B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $560M of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.

• How Long Will Your Money Last? The 4% Rule Tested on 25 Years of Real Fund Returns

  A retirement withdrawal test that uses the actual monthly returns of VTI, QQQ, IWM, AGG and TLT since 1999-2003 — including 2000-02 and 2008 — instead of an assumed return distribution. Eight portfolios, four withdrawal rates, 2,000 resampled 30-year paths each. The 4% rule survives almost everywhere in nominal terms; the interesting numbers are at 5%, 6% and 7%, and in what a bad decade does to a bond-only or Nasdaq-only retiree.

• Why 2,017 IWM Holdings Read as 33: Securities Lending in the Russell 2000 ETF

  IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF, files 2,017 holdings but our concentration measure read it as 33. The cause is a 17% cash-collateral position from securities lending, flagged in the filing itself; set it aside and the fund's own investments behave like about 840. Seventy-three funds on this site, including IJH, IJR, RSP, LQD and HYG, had the same problem. What we found, what we changed today, and what is still open.
