Who borrows XLB'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, $332m was out to 5 borrowers, 4.07% of net assets. The largest, BARCLAYS BANK PLC, held 95.5% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BARCLAYS BANK PLC $317m 95.5%
National Financial Services LLC $13m 4.1%
TD SECURITIES (USA), LLC $2m 0.5%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $11,249 0.0%
NOMURA SECURITIES INTERNATIONAL INC. $1,822 0.0%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.19% of net assets, 4.7% 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 XLB has filed, with each borrower: XLB.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

28 positions became 27: 1 added (2.5% of the fund at the later date), 2 dropped (2.4% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.7%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of XLB compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

99.71% equity, 0.29% 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 $8.17B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
