What Are Hedge Funds Buying?
Every quarter, institutional investment managers with over $100 million in assets must disclose their stock holdings to the SEC via a 13F filing. We track 42 of the most respected investors — from Warren Buffett and Stan Druckenmiller to Cathie Wood and Michael Burry — and analyse their positions to identify the stocks with the highest collective conviction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 13F filing?
A 13F is a quarterly report filed with the SEC by institutional investment managers who oversee at least $100 million in assets. It discloses their US equity holdings, including the number of shares and market value of each position.
How current is this data?
13F filings cover quarter-end dates (March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31) and must be filed within 45 days. However, some filers take up to 135 days. By the time you see the data, the investor may have already changed their positions.
Should I copy these investors' trades?
No. This data is for informational and educational purposes only. 13F data is significantly delayed, does not account for short positions or derivatives, and past performance does not predict future results. Always do your own research.
What is a conviction score?
We call it smart-money confidence — a single 0–100 score, shown everywhere on the site, that ranks stocks by how strongly our tracked investors collectively believe in them. It combines three signals: how many investors hold the stock (breadth), how large their position is (size), and whether they've been buying or selling recently (momentum), then layers in Congress and insider activity.
