Returns the fund reported
2019-07 – 2026-06Monthly total returns from Item B.5 of VTI's own filings, 84 months on record. Not computed here and not from a price feed.
Cross-checked against a series computed separately from prices: median difference 0.04 percentage points over 84 months, which is roughly the distributions. Every month with the filing it came from: VTI.json · all funds.
Who borrows VTI's shares
2026-06-30The fund lends its holdings, and Item B.4.a of the filing names every firm holding them. At 2026-06-30, $10.2bn was out to 35 borrowers, 0.44% of net assets. The largest, BofA Securities, Inc., held 14.6% of it.
| Borrower | On loan | Share of the loan |
|---|---|---|
| BofA Securities, Inc. | $1.5bn | 14.6% |
| GOLDMAN SACHS & CO. | $1.4bn | 13.5% |
| CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC. | $1.3bn | 13.0% |
| Wells Fargo Securities LLC | $1.0bn | 10.3% |
| MORGAN STANLEY & CO LLC | $993m | 9.8% |
Cash collateral reported against the loan: 0.43% of net assets, 97.3% of the amount lent. That is a floor on the collateral, not the whole of it — collateral the fund does not hold as a position is not in this filing, so a figure under 100% is not evidence of under-collateralisation. How that figure behaves across all funds. Every quarter VTI has filed, with each borrower: VTI.json · all funds.
Since the previous filing
2026-03-31 → 2026-06-303,467 positions became 3,485: 127 added (0.5% of the fund at the later date), 109 dropped (0.5% at the earlier date). Half the sum of all weight changes, a turnover proxy: 9.0%. Positions are matched on identifiers, so a security whose identifier changed shows as one drop and one add.

Asset categories and pricing
as of 2026-06-3099.30% equity, 0.70% short-term investment 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 2026-06-30A 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 $2.30T. Notional of an interest-rate or currency swap is not equity exposure.
| Swap counterparty | Notional | % of net assets |
|---|---|---|
| Bank of America NA | $4.14B | 0.18% |
| JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $73M | 0% |
| CITIBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION | $25M | 0% |
Financing leg as filed: the fund pays OBFR01 + 0% on $4.24B of long swap notional . Issuers fill the spread field differently (some file the all-in rate), so compare within an issuer, not across.

QQQ Holdings: All 105 Positions, the Top 10 at 45%, and Why It Behaves Like 34 Stocks
What the Invesco QQQ Trust actually held on 30 June 2026, from its SEC Form N-PORT filing: 102 stocks plus three cash and futures lines, the fifty largest with weights, and the arithmetic that turns "105 holdings" into an effective count of 34. Nvidia 7.6%, Apple 6.7%, Micron 5.6%; the top ten are 45.0% and the top fifty 87.5%. Overlap with VOO, VGT, XLK and QQQM, and how the concentration has moved since 2020.

How Long Will Your Money Last? The 4% Rule Tested on 25 Years of Real Fund Returns
A retirement withdrawal test that uses the actual monthly returns of VTI, QQQ, IWM, AGG and TLT since 1999-2003 — including 2000-02 and 2008 — instead of an assumed return distribution. Eight portfolios, four withdrawal rates, 2,000 resampled 30-year paths each. The 4% rule survives almost everywhere in nominal terms; the interesting numbers are at 5%, 6% and 7%, and in what a bad decade does to a bond-only or Nasdaq-only retiree.
