13F Filingslive
Every institutional 13F filing on EDGAR. See what the world's largest capital allocators own.
Form 13F is the SEC's quarterly holdings disclosure for institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in Section 13(f) securities under management. It lists every long U.S. equity and listed-option position as of the last trading day of the quarter, and has to be filed within 45 days of quarter end.
The 45-day filing lag is important. A 13F is not what a manager owns today — it's what they owned at the snapshot date, up to a quarter and a half ago. Read the deltas (new positions, closed positions, size changes) rather than the absolute holdings.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 13F filing?
Form 13F is a quarterly report every institutional investment manager with at least $100 million in Section 13(f) securities under management must file with the SEC. It lists their long U.S. equity and options positions as of the last day of the calendar quarter.
How long after quarter end does a 13F get filed?
Managers have 45 days after the end of the quarter to file. That means Q1 (ending March 31) filings show up by May 15, and so on. It's a lagging signal — you're seeing positions that are at least 45 days old, and possibly much older.
What's missing from 13F?
13F is long-only U.S. equities and listed options. It does not cover short positions, cash, bonds, private equity, non-U.S. equities, or currency exposure. Reading a 13F as a full portfolio picture is a mistake — it's one slice.
Why do people follow super-investor 13Fs?
Following filings from managers like Warren Buffett (Berkshire Hathaway), Michael Burry (Scion), Bill Ackman (Pershing Square), or Cathie Wood (ARK) gives retail investors a legally-visible window into what large, informed capital allocators are doing — even with the 45-day lag.
