An SEC 13-F filing is a quarterly report that institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in assets under management must submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It discloses their equity holdings, offering transparency into hedge fund and institutional investor portfolios.
These filings help investors track where hedge funds and institutional investors are allocating capital, providing insights into market trends, investment strategies, and potential stock opportunities.
Hedge funds and institutions file 13-F reports quarterly, with a 45-day deadline after the end of each quarter.
Each 13-F filing lists equity holdings, including stock names, ticker symbols, number of shares held, and total market value at the time of reporting. However, it does not include short positions or exact trade execution details.
While 13-F reports provide valuable insights, they have limitations, such as delayed reporting and lack of short position data. Investors should use them alongside other fundamental and technical analysis tools before making investment decisions.

Some hedge funds request confidential treatment for certain positions, which means they may not disclose specific holdings in a 13-F filing. However, most equity positions are publicly reported.
