The top five

Citadel's technology- and analytics-focused approach to portfolio construction and history of market-crushing performance make the hedge fund's holdings a point of interest for many investors. These are the fund's five biggest stock positions as of the company's most recent public disclosure:

• Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) is a longtime leader in financial services and stands as Citadel's top stock holding. The stock accounted for roughly 1.6% of Citadel's total stock portfolio as of the company's last update.
• Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks the Nasdaq-100 index and accounted for 1.1% of Citadel's holdings as of the most recent public update.
• Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) is a medical technology specialist focused on services for patients with heart-valve disease and accounted for 1% of Citadel's stock portfolio weight.
• Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) is a medical company that makes devices used to treat and manage a wide range of health issues, and its stock recently represented roughly 0.8% of Citadel's portfolio holdings.
• Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) is a beverage giant that produces and markets a portfolio of globally known drinks. It recently made up roughly 0.7% of Citadel's stock holdings.

Notably, Hess had been Citadel's second-largest position and accounted for roughly 1.3% of the fund's stock holdings as of the company's last 13F filing, but the energy company was acquired by Chevron in July in a $55 billion all-stock deal. If Griffin and Citadel opt to hold on to the Chevron stock received through the buyout, the fund could show a new top-five holding with its next 13F filing.
