    Holdings Data

    Holdings data is sourced from publicly available SEC filings accessed via Alpha Vantage API, which aggregates data from:

  • SEC Form N-PORT filings (monthly holdings reports)

  • Weighted overlap percentages using normalized min-weight methodology
  • Shared holdings identification
  • Portfolio composition analysis

  • Price Data

    Historical price data is sourced from Yahoo Finance public API for:

  • Rolling correlation calculations (7/14/30/60 day windows)
  • Backtesting scenarios
  • Performance comparisons

  • Data Limitations

  • Holdings data may be delayed by 30-60 days from fund reporting dates
  • Price data is delayed by 15 minutes during market hours
