Frequently asked questions
What is a 13F filing?
SEC Form 13F is a quarterly report that institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in qualifying assets under management must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It discloses every U.S.-listed equity, ETF, and convertible bond position the firm held at quarter-end. Stock Alerts ingests every 13F filing from EDGAR, normalizes the data, and surfaces it here.

Can I get push notifications for institutional 13F activity?
Yes. The free Stock Alerts mobile app can send a push notification the moment a tracked institution files a new 13F or initiates a brand-new position. Pair institutional alerts with the congressional trading tracker for a complete view of where political and institutional money is moving.
