Frequently asked questions
What are SEC insider filings?
SEC insider filings are the Section 16 disclosures — Forms 3, 4, and 5 — that corporate insiders (officers, directors, and 10%+ owners) must file to report their holdings and every change in those holdings. They are the primary transparency mechanism for tracking what a company's own leadership is doing with its shares.
What's the difference between Forms 3, 4, and 5?
Form 3 is the initial statement of ownership, filed within 10 days of becoming an insider. Form 4 is the transactional filing, required within two business days of any covered trade. Form 5 is an annual catch-up for anything eligible for deferred reporting.
How is this different from a 13F filing?
Form 4 covers individual corporate insiders and is filed within 2 business days. 13F filings cover institutional investment managers with $100M+ AUM and are filed 45 days after quarter end. Form 4 is a near-real-time signal; 13F is a lagging snapshot.
