No compounded figure is shown. This site's two readings of QYLD's monthly returns — the filed figures and a series computed from prices — differ by a median of 1.14 percentage points over 81 months, more than distributions explain. Which is wrong cannot be told from the filings; the others in the same position are listed here.

2026-01-31 → 2026-04-30101 positions became 101: 1 added (0.8% of the fund at the later date), 1 dropped (0.1% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 6.4%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Asset categories and pricing
as of 2026-07-31100.00% equity as filed; 100.0% carried at a quoted market price (fair-value level 1). Categories and levels are the filer's; what a low level-1 share does and does not mean is in the measure's page.
Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-04-30A position count cannot describe a fund that uses derivatives, because a swap is filed at its unrealised gain, not its exposure. These are the notionals the fund itself reported, against net assets of $8.33B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
