Ranked 6 of 8 names with a snapshot on 2026-09-18. A peer whose newest snapshot falls on a different day - older or newer - is listed with that day and excluded from the rank, never compared across days.

core.borrow_rates, the accrued snapshot series. The percentile is the house midrank - (below + half the ties) / n - over one reading per ET day, computed in SQL and NULL below its floor. Fee rates sit on a general-collateral floor, so ties are the common case and the midrank is what keeps a floor reading from reading as the minimum.

Tracked funds holding XLK:

No tracked ETF held XLK at its newest composition on or before this date.

core.etf_holdings at each fund's newest vendor vintage on or before the as-of date - not this name's newest row, so a fund that dropped it in a later composition drops out here too. Weights are percent; a sum slightly over 100 is cash and rounding.
