yep, but the problem is much nearer home
still no data on cew holdings, but quote:
"the fund utilizes investments in high-quality u.s. money market investments and forward currency contracts to achieve a risk-return exposure that is economically similar to money market
instruments denominated in the specified emerging currencies"

judging by fact sheets on individual currency etfs (cyb, szr, brl, etc) the "high-quality u.s. money market investments" it holds are likely to be
"citi triparty repos" and others with shittybank and freddy (kruger) mac

houston, we have a problem
and it ain't at the central banks in ankara, beijing and pretoria
it's much closer home at "high-quality" u.s. financial institutions
