Investment Language 101 Series: TERM OF THE DAY: -- What Is: ' SEC Form 13F ' | E.31 | Trading Candle Cheat Sheet Incl. Each Episode.

in #money7 years ago (edited)


A series designed to help all the new people flooding into & entering Crypto/Investments daily who get thrown into the rabbit hole so to speak and everything is new to them.

It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY one thing each episode in blue collar, easy to understand language to give a SHORT OVERVIEW of the term or lesson of the day.

It is specifically designed this way to keep it short and simple.

People can then search out extra info if they wish.

I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.


TERM OF THE DAY:


What is....

' SEC Form 13F '?

--

The SEC Form 13F is a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also known as the Information Required of Institutional Investment Managers Form.

It is a quarterly filing required of institutional investment managers with over $100 million in qualifying assets. Companies required to file SEC Form 13F may include insurance companies, banks, pension funds, investment advisers and broker-dealers.

Breaking Down...

' SEC Form 13F ':

--

SEC Form 13F, which must be filed within 45 days of the end of each quarter, contains information about the investment manager and potentially a list of their recent investment holdings.

The form was made famous by investment con artist Bernie Madoff. It provides investors with an inside look at the holdings of Wall Street's largest investment managers. While this form can provide valuable insight into the management style of some of Wall Street's best portfolio chiefs , history has proven that these forms are only truly useful to investors when the investment manager reports accurately and honestly.

-- Hedge Funds and 13F Forms:

Institutional investors have become more prolific in the past six decades. In 1950, equity ownership among institutions represented about 8% of the total U.S. market capitalization. That percentage increased dramatically in the following 60 years. By 2010 it was estimated that 67% of all domestic stocks were controlled by institutions.

Hedge funds rose to prominence with index-busting returns that tapered off beginning with the bull run starting in 2009 after the financial meltdown. Many individual investors, attempting to replicate the strategies of iconic money managers such as Paul Tudor Jones and George Soros, peer inside 13F filings for insight into the purchase and sales of securities transacted by the pros. The Tudor Investment Corporation is captained by Jones and its portfolio holds about 1,300 stocks. In its May 16, 2016, 13F filing, Tudor’s holdings included Allergan and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. among its top-10 positions.

-- 13F Reliability:

Some investors, and even the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) itself, question the quality and integrity of 13F filings. In a 2010 investigation, the SEC’S findings regarding 13F reporting requirements revealed concerns around three major issues. The first finding offered that no SEC division assumed any authority to scrutinize 13F’s in general. The second conclusion stated that no SEC office analyzes 13F’s content for “accuracy and completeness. Lastly, the SEC found that the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system possessed no internal checks used to monitor the filings of 13Fs.

I am leaving these images I made here until I figure out one that fits properly and looks right for the first/main image for the post/series.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.

SMH.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
