How this list is built
The rule: The companies the fund holds, weighted, carry at least as much debt as the equity behind it, from their own filed year. Debt to equity, from each held company's own newest filed year, weighted by its weight in the fund. A company whose equity is negative has no such ratio and carries none, so it is read as absent rather than as a large number. A fund is read only where at least half of its stored weight sits in companies we hold the figure for. Read from each fund's newest holdings snapshot (its largest holdings, as the fund reports them) joined to each held company's own filed figures, holdings snapshots dated 2026-10-07 to 2026-10-15, each fund's newest: 112 of the 990 funds in this rule's range could be measured. The other 878 funds are left out by name rather than counted as a match or a miss (820 under half of the fund's weight is in companies we hold a filed debt to equity for; 50 the fund's reported holdings add up to more than the fund, which is leverage or derivatives, so a share of it means nothing; 8 no holdings snapshot held).
