Fund Positioning Monitor — Crowding & Position Changes

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hedge funds pay for positioning — which names institutions are accumulating, which they are exiting, and where the crowd is. Fund Positioning Monitor assembles security-level holdings from SEC Form N-PORT and ETF constituent data, then computes the metrics on top: cross-holder crowding and period-over-period position changes, delivered as CSV + JSON on a schedule.

The event labels (labeling is the value)

  • crowding_score — how many distinct funds / ETFs hold the name (consensus vs idiosyncratic).
  • positioning_label — broad consensus · moderately held · idiosyncratic.
  • etf_holders / fund_holders — holder breadth split by vehicle; etf_aggregate_weight_pct — total index weight behind the name.
  • delta_signal — new initiation · full exit · accumulated (±Δ%) · distributed (±Δ%), computed period-over-period.

Every row carries as_of_date and captured_at; deltas are computed only from prior captured snapshots — no look-ahead.

Honest about what this is

Factual public SEC N-PORT and ETF constituent data, structured and labeled. Not real-time, not individualized, and not financial, legal, or investment advice. N-PORT public holdings post roughly 60 days after quarter-end (standard for the 13F/N-PORT category); ETF constituents refresh more frequently. This is a positioning feed, not an intraday tape. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. SEC.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

SEC EDGAR Form N-PORT (mutual-fund / ETF holdings) plus publicly published ETF constituent data, normalized to one schema.

How current is it?

It refreshes on the public-filing calendar. N-PORT public holdings post about 60 days after quarter-end — standard for the category — while ETF constituents refresh more often. Disclosed plainly: a positioning feed, not real-time.

What is the crowding score?

The count of distinct tracked funds / ETFs holding a security — a consensus-vs-idiosyncratic measure — alongside the aggregate index weight behind the name.

Can I try a free sample first?

Yes — pull the free sample on this page to check the schema and labels before subscribing.

Who is this for?

Long/short equity and quant / factor funds, and ETF strategists who need ownership, crowding, and position-change categories.
