2. Introduction

2.1 Rationale

The US Securities Regulatory Commission (SEC) requires fund managers of institutions with assets under management of more than $100m to provide the SEC with quarterly position reports. By tracking the securities held by these institutions, investors can understand their investing logic and trends, and learn from their investing strategies.

2.2 Home Page

You will see Top Institutions, Hot Industries, and Trending Stocks on the home page. In particular, the heat map under Hot Industries shows the market value of institutional holdings by industry. A bigger cell size means a higher market value, which indicates the industry has more growth potential.

2.3 Top Institutions Page

On the Top Institutions page, you can find a search box, an institution number & MV chart, and a top institutions list.

2.3.1 Institution Number & MV Chart

The chart shows the total number of institutions and the total MV (market value) of institutional holdings by quarter.

2.3.2 Top Institutions List

This module gives three types of rankings. The first list ranks the institutions by market value of holdings, and the other two, by change in holdings. In the list, you may find the following information, as well as its last updated dates:

● MV: the market value of the stocks held by the institution for the current period

● MV Chg: changes in the market value of the stocks held by the institution for the current period

● Number of Stocks Held: the number of shares held by the institution

● Change in Stocks Held: changes in the number of shares held by the institution as compared to the previous period
