Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about tracking investor portfolios, 13F filings, hedge fund holdings, and using our investment research platform.
What are 13F filings?
13F filings are quarterly reports that institutional investment managers with over $100 million in assets must file with the SEC, disclosing their equity holdings. These filings provide transparency into what stocks top investors are buying and selling. The SEC requires these reports to be filed within 45 days after the end of each quarter, making them a valuable source of information for tracking institutional investment activity and portfolio changes.
How often are portfolio holdings updated?
Portfolio holdings are updated regularly based on filing deadlines. Most institutional investors file 13F reports quarterly within 45 days after the end of each quarter, providing the most current view of their investment positions. Our platform automatically processes new filings as they become available, ensuring you have access to the latest portfolio data from top investors, hedge funds, and institutional managers.
Which investors can I track?
You can track top institutional investors, hedge funds, and superinvestors who file required reports. Our platform covers major investment managers and their portfolios, including well-known investors like Warren Buffett, Bill Ackman, and other prominent fund managers. We track all institutional investment managers with over $100 million in assets who are required to file 13F reports with the SEC, with plans to expand to include additional investor types.
What investment analysis tools are available?
Our platform provides comprehensive investment research tools including portfolio performance metrics, stock holding analysis, sector allocation breakdowns, investment strategy insights, and portfolio tracking features to help you understand how top investors manage their portfolios. You can analyze top holdings, track portfolio changes over time, view sector allocations, identify popular stocks across multiple portfolios, and discover overweight positions that indicate strong investor conviction.
How can I use this data for investment decisions?
Use our portfolio tracker to research what stocks successful investors are buying, analyze their investment strategies, and gain insights into market trends. This can help inform your own investment decisions and portfolio management. By tracking where top investors are allocating capital, you can identify potential investment opportunities, understand market sentiment, and learn from successful investment strategies. However, always conduct your own research and consider consulting with a financial advisor before making investment decisions.

All data is sourced from official SEC 13F filings to ensure accuracy and compliance.
How comprehensive is the investment research platform?
Our platform offers comprehensive investment research tools to analyze stock holdings, portfolio performance, and investment strategies of successful investors. This includes portfolio tracking, investment insights, detailed stock positions, and performance metrics. We track thousands of institutional investors and provide analysis tools that help you understand portfolio composition, identify trends, compare portfolios across different investors, and discover investment opportunities based on what top investors are doing.
Are 13F filings accurate and reliable?
Yes, 13F filings are official SEC documents that institutional investment managers are legally required to file. These filings provide accurate information about equity holdings as of the reporting date. However, it's important to note that 13F filings are filed quarterly and may not reflect the most current positions, as there can be a delay of up to 45 days after the quarter ends. Additionally, 13F filings only cover equity positions and may not include other types of investments like bonds, derivatives, or private holdings.
Can I track specific stocks across multiple portfolios?
Yes, our platform allows you to see which investors hold specific stocks and how those positions have changed over time. You can search for any stock symbol to see which institutional investors, hedge funds, and superinvestors hold that stock, the size of their positions, and recent buying or selling activity. This helps you understand institutional sentiment around specific companies and identify which top investors have conviction in particular stocks.
How do I interpret portfolio concentration and top holdings?
Portfolio concentration shows how much of an investor's portfolio is allocated to their top positions. High concentration (e.g., 80%+ in top 20 holdings) indicates a focused, high-conviction strategy. Top holdings by value show the largest positions, while top holdings by percentage show the highest allocation relative to portfolio size. Understanding both metrics helps you identify which stocks investors are most confident about and how they're positioning their portfolios for different market conditions.
