Best SEC 13F Data Tools (2026): A Factual Comparison

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Institutional managers disclose equity positions every quarter on SEC Form 13F-HR. The underlying filings are free on SEC EDGAR but awkward to parse, so dedicated 13F tools clean and present the holdings. They differ in model: consumer dashboards and data vendors typically charge subscriptions, while pay-per-use actors return the parsed holdings as data. This page is about data tooling, not investment advice.

Where the NexGenData actor fits

The NexGenData SEC 13F actor parses Form 13F-HR straight from EDGAR into clean JSON β€” filer, period, issuer, CUSIP, value, shares, voting authority β€” searchable by fund, CIK, or ticker, on a pay-per-result basis. It returns factual public filing data for analysts and developers; it is not investment advice.
