Funds / Credit facilities

Who provides funds with credit, and how much they report

SEC Form N-CEN Item C.7 identifies a fund's lines of credit, the institutions providing them, whether each facility is committed, and whether it was used. Syndicated lines repeat once for every lender, so this page separates two grains: 109,373 fund-reported facilities for size and commitment measures, and 358,842 distinct filed fund-lender relationships for the provider table.

Data as of April 30, 2026 reporting period (2026 is partial; comparisons stop at 2025)

SEC structured N-CEN data sets exclude schema 3.1 filings, so recent-year coverage is incomplete.

Two grains, two questions. Facility counts and dollar totals collapse syndicate members to one row per fund and line sequence. The lender table stays at the distinct (fund, line sequence, lender) relationship grain. The dollar total is always labelled a sum of fund-reported facility sizes. It can still repeat an economically shared line across funds in a master-feeder structure, so it is not a market-size estimate.

Committed and uncommitted facilities

In 2025, funds reported 12,207 facilities with a summed fund-reported size of $8.88T. 5,681 were committed and 6,526 were uncommitted. Counts can look quite different at the provider-row grain because committed facilities tend to carry larger syndicates; this table counts each (fund, line sequence) once.

Reporting year comes from the parsed N-CEN period end. The partial 2026 observations are excluded from this comparison.

Who provides the facilities

The 2025 filings contain 43,747 fund-lender relationships. The table ranks the leading provider strings exactly as funds filed them, after removing only surrounding whitespace and mapping the one null institution name to ‘Not reported’. No aliases are consolidated, so the same banking group can appear under several spellings and the displayed shares are not concentration estimates.

Which fund types report a facility

Every share uses the stable series ID as its fund grain. The denominator is every nonblank series ID in the N-CEN registry across the shipped sample, and a series is in the numerator when at least one facility appears for it. The 6,054 records with a blank series ID are excluded from these denominators. The three groups are mutually exclusive: the most recent ETF flag comes first, the most recent money-market flag comes second, and all remaining series form the third group.

Drawn facilities and the amount used

1,092 of 12,207 facilities in 2025 were marked used, a 8.9% share. Each of those facilities reports an average amount used. The plot below shows that distribution on its own dollar scale. It does not combine average draws with facility size, which is a different quantity.

Methodology ledger

Rows, facilities and the join

The credit-line view has 358,885 rows, representing 358,842 distinct (fund ID, line sequence, lender) relationships after removing 43 duplicate rows. Collapsing it by fund ID and line sequence produces 109,373 facilities reported by 52,619 fund IDs. A syndicated facility can occupy at most 22 provider rows in the shipped data. Facility size and commitment status are constant inside that group, so the query uses any_value() for both. Summing size on the relationship rows would produce $648.85T. It is not called the market. All 358,885 credit rows match the fund registry, leaving 0 unmatched. The registry contributes 115,767 rows, one per fund ID, across 22,328 distinct accession numbers.

Flags and fund types

Commitment status is filed as the words "Committed" and "Uncommitted". Use is filed as "Y" or "N". The ETF and money-market fields use "Y" for true and an empty string otherwise, so every test is an explicit comparison with "Y" rather than a truth test on the string. Fund-type shares collapse the registry to one row per nonblank stable series ID and use the most recent filed flags. The 6,054 records with a blank series ID are excluded from share denominators. 4 series carry both fund-type flags in their most recent records; the mutually exclusive reliance display assigns them to ETFs because that test is applied first.

Reporting periods and comparison window

report_ending_period is text in DD-MON-YYYY form. Every query parses it with strptime(report_ending_period, '%d-%b-%Y') before sorting or extracting a year; filing_date is not used as the as-of date. The true period range is February 28, 2018 to April 30, 2026. Because 2026 is partial, annual comparisons and the provider league table stop at 2025.

Provider names and average draws

There are 439 distinct institution strings in the full file. The provider table trims surrounding whitespace and maps the one null institution name to ‘Not reported’. It does not merge aliases, change case, remove punctuation or assign bank parents. Relationship shares therefore describe strings as filed, not normalized banking groups. average_credit_line_used is present for facilities marked used and is summarized only among those non-null observations. It is never added to, or plotted on the same scale as, line_of_credit_size.
