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

| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $55m | 14.4% |

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.

2026-03-31 → 2026-06-3024 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%.

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