Platform Documentation

A guide to the data points, metrics, and analytical tools available on 13Foresight. Understand how we process 13F filings to generate actionable institutional intelligence.

Fund Profile & Strategy

Every fund page begins with a comprehensive profile derived from regulatory filings and market data. We classify funds based on their trading behavior and reported assets.

Fund Type Classification

We distinguish between Hedge Funds (active, absolute return), VC/PE (private markets), and Asset Managers (long-only, indexers) based on portfolio turnover and concentration.

AUM & Leverage

Total Assets reported vs. Public Equity Value. Large discrepancies often indicate significant use of leverage, derivatives, or private holdings.

Key Personnel

Track the Chief Investment Officers (CIOs) and Portfolio Managers responsible for capital allocation decisions.

Performance & Risk Metrics

We simulate the performance of a fund's public long portfolio to estimate their stock-picking ability. Note that this excludes short positions, private assets, and derivatives.

Alpha (vs S&P 500)

Excess return generated by the fund relative to the market benchmark. A positive alpha indicates superior stock selection skill.

Sharpe Ratio

Risk-adjusted return metric. Calculates how much return the fund generates for every unit of volatility risk taken.

Win Rate

The percentage of positions that generated a positive return during the holding period. Useful for assessing consistency.

Portfolio Composition

Visualizing how capital is allocated across sectors, asset classes, and individual convictions to understand the fund's macro view.

Concentration (Top 10)

The percentage of the portfolio allocated to the top 10 holdings. High concentration (>60%) suggests a high-conviction, stock-picking strategy.

Sector Allocation

Breakdown of exposure by GICS sectors (e.g., Technology, Healthcare). Helps identify funds making big sector bets.

Portfolio Turnover

A measure of how frequently assets are bought and sold. High turnover indicates active trading; low turnover suggests a long-term "buy and hold" approach.

Holdings & Flows

Detailed quarterly data for every position, including estimated entry prices and confidence rankings.

Portfolio Ranking

Positions are ranked by portfolio weight. The #1 position represents the manager's highest weight holding in the reported 13F portfolio.

Estimated Price

We estimate the cost basis for each position using the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) specific to the quarter of acquisition.

New / Increased / Sold Out

Quickly filter positions to see what the fund is buying (New Entries) and what they are completely exiting (Sold Out).

Advanced Tools

Beyond individual fund pages, 13Foresight provides market-wide analytical tools.
