Who borrows XLC'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, $382m was out to 14 borrowers, 1.71% of net assets. The largest, BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP, held 25.4% of it.

BorrowerOn loanShare of the loan
BNP PARIBAS SECURITIES CORP $97m 25.4%
CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. $90m 23.6%
MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC $55m 14.4%
Macquarie Bank Limited $33m 8.7%
BofA Securities, Inc. $25m 6.7%

Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.83% of net assets, 48.4% 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 XLC has filed, with each borrower: XLC.json · all funds.

Since the previous filing

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30

24 positions became 24: 0 added (0.0% of the fund at the later date), 0 dropped (0.0% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 7.3%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add. Every filing of XLC compared this way, as a feed: changes.xml · all funds: filings received.

99.09% equity, 0.91% 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 $22.26B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
