What stands out
as of 2026-05-31The largest line in TQQQ's filing is not a stock but ProShares Genius Money Market ETF, a fund position at 18.35% of net assets. Between the 2026-02-28 and 2026-05-31 filings 13 positions were added and 8 dropped; 51.1% of the weight moved.

Derivative exposure and counterparties
as of 2026-05-31A 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 $39.77B. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
| Swap counterparty | Notional | % of net assets |
|---|---|---|
| CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $12.62B | 31.72% |
| BNP PARIBAS | $11.65B | 29.3% |
| JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $11.48B | 28.85% |
| Bank of America NA | $10.82B | 27.2% |

Financing leg as filed: the fund pays FEDL01 + 1.058% on $101.94B of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.
