Here is the file where I pulled all the derivative sections from all N-PORT files which mention GME’s CUSIP.

This file lists only derivatives which mention “Gamestop” in the entry.

And here, I’ve uploaded explanations that ChatGPT gave me for what these sections mean.

Apologies in advance for this not being very well structured. I know that for those who’ve pulled the swap data from other sources, finding counterparties is next to impossible. What is interesting about these is that you get to see counterparties as well as the unique *internal* identifiers which are used by the parties to keep their own records. Perhaps this could serve to connect a few dots within the swap data that’s already been posted and accumulated by others. However, here is a taste:

    • No specific payoff profile is provided, likely because this is a straightforward short CFD.

    • The underlying asset is issued by a corporation (GameStop Corp).
  • **Investment Country**: US

    • The underlying asset is based in the United States.

    • This is not a restricted security, meaning it can be traded freely.

Derivative Information:

    • **Floating Rate Index**: USFFE (Likely related to U.S. financial market indicators)
    • **Spread**: -25 basis points (This indicates a 0.25% deduction from the floating rate, which could be a cost or discount to the fund in the swap.)
    • **Payment Amount**: $0 (No payment at the time of this report)
  • **Floating Payment Description**:

    • **Currency**: USD
    • **Floating Rate Index**: GameStop Corp - CLASS A

    • Indicates that the fund has lent out the underlying security or is involved in lending transactions related to this position.

Interpretation:

  • **Significant Short Position**: The negative balance of -2,082 units indicates a substantial short position on GME. The fund is betting heavily on GME’s price declining.
  • **Losses Incurred**: The position is currently underwater, with a significant unrealized loss of over $135,000, suggesting that the strategy has not worked as expected so far.
  • **Counterparty Risk**: Goldman Sachs is the counterparty, meaning they are the ones providing the fund with this swap. This involves risk as the performance of the swap depends on the creditworthiness and terms with Goldman Sachs.
  • **Price Consideration**: With a current value of -$346,819.56, this suggests the notional value of the contract per unit is quite high, around $166.55 per unit. This value may reflect a premium or the complex nature of the CFD and swap structure rather than a direct reflection of GME’s market price.

Conclusion:

This derivative represents a large and currently losing short position against GameStop (GME). The involvement of Goldman Sachs as a counterparty and the significant unrealized losses suggest that this trade is critical for the fund and may have been part of a broader strategy to hedge or speculate on GME’s price movement. The high percentage of the fund’s total value tied up in this position indicates that the fund has taken on considerable risk with this trade.

Anyone who can make heads or tails of this baloney, chime in!
