AI Analysis · Q2 2026

Simplex Trading reported $149.1B across 10,161 positions for Q1 2026, down from $177.4B. The book is an options market-making and derivatives inventory rather than a conviction portfolio — its largest exposures are SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) sleeves totaling roughly $41B, Invesco QQQ ($12.5B across legs) and iShares index funds, alongside paired single-stock options on Tesla, NVIDIA and Meta. The quarter saw large reductions across QQQ (-$2.9B) and Tesla/NVIDIA derivative legs as inventory turned over; sector classification is largely structural (Unknown), reflecting the derivative nature of the positions.

An index-derivative core. The dominant exposures are S&P 500 and Nasdaq index wrappers: SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) sleeves total roughly $41B (18.39% + 9.44% across reported legs), with Invesco QQQ at about $12.5B and iShares index funds adding several billion more. These reflect hedged inventory and options positioning around the most liquid index products, not directional bets.

Paired single-stock options. The single-name exposures appear as paired legs on the same underlyings — Tesla (~$6.5B across legs), NVIDIA (~$6.7B) and Meta (~$2.4B) — a signature of options market-making where calls and puts on a name are carried simultaneously. SPDR Gold (~$2.4B) rounds out the liquid hedging set.
