Holdings overlap#
No overlap figure for this pair. TQQQ files only 31% of net assets as securities — it gets the rest of its exposure through swaps and other derivatives, which N-PORT reports separately from the holdings below. Comparing the filed baskets as if they were whole portfolios would overstate how alike the funds are.

Methodology#
Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested) from daily adjusted closes. Holdings, overlap, sector weights and flows derive from each fund's public SEC filings (Form N-PORT), anchored on the latest filing and rolled forward daily by price moves. Overlap is the sum of the smaller weight across shared holdings. See each fund's full holdings: QQQ holdings · TQQQ holdings. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
