What is an amended 13F (13F/A)?
A 13F/A changes a 13F after it's filed. It either restates the whole filing, to correct mistakes, or adds holdings that were left out, often positions the SEC had let the fund keep confidential.
Amendments are common. Funds misstate share counts or values, use the wrong units, leave out holdings, or file the same position twice, and they fix it with an amendment, sometimes months later.
The two kinds
- Restatement: a complete new list of holdings that replaces the original filing.
- New holdings: only the positions to add to the original, such as one that had confidential treatment.
HedgeFollow applies amendments as they're filed, and corrects many errors that never get amended at all.
