What we do
GuruTrack aggregates public U.S. financial-disclosure data into one structured, continuously-updated reference: hedge-fund and "guru" holdings from SEC Form 13F quarterly filings, congressional securities trades reported under the STOCK Act, and executive-branch trades reported on OGE Form 278-T. We add structure — per-stock, per-person, per-theme views, quarter-over-quarter moves and rankings — on top of the raw filings.
Data sources
- Guru holdings: SEC EDGAR — Form 13F quarterly filings by institutional investment managers.
- Politician trades: official U.S. House and U.S. Senate financial-disclosure portals (STOCK Act filings). Deadline guidance: House Ethics and Senate Ethics.
- Executive-branch trades: U.S. Office of Government Ethics public OGE Form 278-T disclosures and filing-deadline guidance.
- Prices: end-of-day market data, used only for context (e.g. change since quarter-end).
All holdings data derives from official public filings; we do not use private or paid position data.
Caveats & methodology
- 13F is a quarter-end snapshot generally due within 45 days after quarter-end. Congressional PTRs follow the earlier of 30 days after notification or 45 days after the trade, with no deadline extensions; late filings, corrections and publication processing can still delay public visibility. OGE 278-T uses the same 30/45-day rule, while agency-approved extensions may apply.
- 13F covers long U.S. equities (and certain options) only — no shorts, most bonds, foreign listings or cash.
- Politician trade amounts are ranges, not exact values; we display the disclosed range.
- Tickers and names are normalized from raw filings (CUSIP → ticker); historical or ambiguous mappings are resolved conservatively.
Editorial standards
- Primary filings control: when a GuruTrack summary conflicts with an original filing, the original SEC, House, Senate or OGE disclosure is authoritative.
- Derived figures are labelled by scope and date. Rankings describe the tracked sample and should not be read as the entire market.
- Material corrections preserve the affected quarter or date and are recorded in the product changelog when they change the public interpretation.

FAQ
What is a 13F filing?
A quarterly report that institutional investment managers exercising investment discretion over at least $100M in Section 13(f) securities must file with the SEC. It reports covered long positions as of quarter-end and is generally due within 45 days after the quarter ends.
What are STOCK Act and OGE 278-T disclosures?
Members of Congress report covered trades under the STOCK Act, while covered executive-branch officials use OGE Form 278-T under federal ethics law. Both are generally due within 30 days after notification and no later than 45 days after the transaction. Congress does not permit PTR deadline extensions; executive-branch agencies may approve OGE 278-T extensions for good cause. Late filings can still occur, and amounts are disclosed as ranges rather than exact figures.
How fresh is the data?
13F holdings are quarter-end snapshots generally due within 45 days after quarter-end. Congressional PTR deadlines cannot be extended, but late filings, corrections and publication processing can delay public visibility. OGE 278-T reports use the same 30/45-day rule, while approved extensions and agency processing can add delay. GuruTrack refreshes after new public filings appear; this is not real-time data.
Why don't 13F filings show the full portfolio?
13F covers long U.S.-listed equities and certain options. It excludes short positions, most bonds, foreign-listed holdings and cash, so a guru's true exposure can differ materially from the filing.
Can I copy these portfolios as investment advice?
No. The data is delayed, partial, and historical — a position may already be sold by the time it is public. GuruTrack is a research and information tool, not investment advice.

Public SEC 13F filings may appear up to 45 days after quarter-end; STOCK Act / OGE trade filings are generally due within 45 days but may be late. Partial data only — research, not investment advice.
