Coverage and limitations
The quarterly_changes table covers 214,899 rows from SEC Form 13F-HR filings, submitted by qualified institutional investors managing over 100 million dollars in assets under management. Upstream data originates from the SEC's EDGAR system, with quarterly release cadence tied to 45-day post-quarter deadlines for initial reports. Revisions appear as amended 13F forms in subsequent vintages, flagged via amendment indicators in filer reports; plainfunddata ingests these updates to reflect latest snapshots without overwriting historical quarterly_changes entries. The 2025 vintage in holdings table captures year-end positions like NVIDIA at 344 million shares from 259 holders, distinct from real-time API feeds that incorporate post-2025 amendments. Coverage excludes non-qualified filers below AUM thresholds, small advisory firms under 100 million dollars, and foreign entities exempt from 13F mandates, limiting visibility into retail-heavy or offshore positions. SEC — Holdings Database, 2025
Snapshots in securities data preserve 2024-2025 transitions, such as Microsoft Corp's 65 million shares across 272 holders, without blending revision histories that could alter prior quarters. Data pipeline normalizes security identifiers via CUSIP and ticker symbols, joining to filer CIKs in holdings table for eight-quarter spans where 25% of changes topped 1,000 shares. Gaps arise from delayed filings or waivers granted by SEC staff under delegated authority, omitting some hedge funds during grace periods. Vintage controls ensure quarterly_changes rows like First Citizens Financial Corp's 1,863 ABBOTT LABS shares—up 10% over 50 filings—remain fixed to original submission dates. Cross-references to Holdings Overview reveal per-filer averages, such as 113 holdings for those with over 50 reports. SEC — Filer Reports, 2025
EDGAR's public dissemination includes XML parses for value columns, enabling 15% NVIDIA growth computations from 2024 baselines in 214,899 rows, though amendments may supersede initial 13F values post-ingest. Limitations stem from aggregation rules: 13F aggregates across related persons, masking intra-group transfers, and reports market values at quarter-end without intraday marks. Filers like Granite Group Advisors LLC appear with 94 holdings and 1.06 billion dollar 2024 increases, but exclude passive index trackers below reporting lines. Methodology details normalization steps, revision flagging via sequence numbers, and exclusion of confidential treatments requested under SEC Rule 13f-1(b). Coverage edges omit 13F-NT notices for extensions, ensuring holdings table prioritizes complete datasets like Microsoft’s 2.6 billion dollar shifts. Pipeline vocab includes harvest cycles matching SEC quarterly batches, with de-duplication by accession numbers. SEC — Form 13F Changes, 2025
Interlinking to Changes Tracker exposes joins between quarterly_changes and securities table, highlighting ABBVIE INC’s 5,839 share gains or ABBOTT LABS 200-share quarterly bumps from 122,759 rows. Vintage distinctions separate 2025 endpoints—First Citizens at 166 million dollars total, up 5%—from evolving amendment streams. Regulatory terms like "beneficial ownership" govern share counts over 10,000 or 5% stakes, with FOIA requests unavailable for proprietary blocks. Data freshness lags 45-90 days post-quarter due to filing windows, contrasting live market feeds. Exclusion of derivatives like options stems from 13F equity-only focus, directing users to Form 13D/G for activists. Eight-quarter analysis in holdings table thus bounds trends without forward revisions, preserving integrity for 259 NVIDIA holders.
Quarterly_changes at 214,899 rows, NVIDIA's 344 million shares from 259 holders, Microsoft’s 65 million across 272 entities, and eight-quarter patterns exceeding 1,000 shares in 25% of cases demonstrate institutional shifts in top securities, as tracked in plainfunddata's holdings table and filer reports from SEC Form 13F sources; coverage limitations underscore the value of vintage snapshots for reproducible year-over-year comparisons like First Citizens Financial Corp's 10% ABBOTT LABS growth over 50 filings.
What this analysis cannot tell us
The data only covers reported quarters, potentially missing intra-quarter fluctuations or external market events. It cannot reveal the reasons behind changes, such as economic shifts or internal fund decisions. Aggregation by year obscures monthly patterns and may overgeneralize trends. Reporting-era biases from 2024-2025 filings could affect accuracy for newer filers. Subgroups like small funds with under 50 filings are underrepresented in the analysis.
