Form 13F

Form 13F is shorthand for the quarterly report filed, per SEC regulations,^[1] by "institutional investment managers" to the SEC and containing all equity assets under management of at least $100 million in value.^[2]

In general, an "institutional investment manager" is

• an entity that invests in, or buys and sells, securities for its own account; or
• a natural person or an entity that exercises investment discretion over the account of any other natural person or entity.^[2]

These include banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, investment companies, foundations, and pension funds.^[2]

Form 13F only reports long positions. Short positions are not required to be disclosed and are not reported.
