As filed, collateral included
3.64% collateralYLD's filing lists 150 positions including 3.64% of net assets in securities-lending cash collateral. Counted as filed the fund reads 83.8 effective holdings with a top ten of 20.09%; on its own investments — the figure above — it reads 94.3 with a top ten of 17.92%. 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.

Who borrows YLD'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, $20m was out to 8 borrowers, 3.57% of net assets. The largest, Jefferies LLC, held 32.4% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| Jefferies LLC | $7m | 32.4% |
| JP MORGAN SECURITIES LLC | $4m | 22.0% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $3m | 14.1% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. | $3m | 13.3% |
| The Bank of Nova Scotia | $2m | 9.4% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 3.64% of net assets, 102% 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 YLD has filed, with each borrower: YLD.json · all funds.
