Of the 1916 institutions, 53% increased the holding shares, 39% decreased the holding shares, 6% hold the same amount of shares, 0% sold out all holdings.

Industry/Sector/Market Quantile

The quantile ranking of the institutional holding percentage in the corresponding industry, sector, or on the whole market. The numbers in parentheses are the quantile ranking change relative to 3 months and 1 year ago

Industry Quantile:

31% (3M:0% 1Yr:-19%)

For example, as of Nov 15th 2015, the institutional holding percentage of AAPL is higher than 31% of other companies in the same industry. This ranking is same as 3 months ago, and 19% down from 1 year ago (50%)

Quarterly Report

Quarterly report tracks the shares held by each institution that was reported quarterly to the SEC on Form 13F (after correction). It monitors the overall and individual institutional holding of corresponding security. Quarterly report is updated daily to reflect any new holdings as well as any amendments to current or previous period report.

The figure above illutrates the quarterly institutional holding report on Apple Inc. (NAS:AAPL). There is a constant decrease in reported institutional holding from the 2nd quarter of 2014 to the 2nd quarter of 2015. The holding information for the 3rd quarter of 2015 is only available for some institutions, and others are not reported yet (as of this writing). Vanguard Group Inc. is the largest shareholder of AAPL. It held about 327 Million shares on the 3rd quarter of 2014, which accounts for 5.46% of the shares outstanding of AAPL. At the same period, the total amount of shares held by institutions was about 4 Billion shares, which accounts for 67.67% of the outstanding shares.

At individual institution level (by clicking the stacked bar), despite of the overall decrease in institutional holding on AAPL, Vanguard Group Inc. didn't change the holding significantly

Due to late filing and confidential treatment, quarterly report is more meaningful for analyzing holding histories that are older than at least one quarter, and less useful in monitoring holding trend of current period.

Projected Real Time Holding

Projected real time holding tracks the holding of corresponding security, using the most recently available information from each institution. As a simple example, 1916 institutions reported holding status of AAPL for the 3rd period of 2015, and 2293 institutions reported in the 2nd period. For the 377 institutions temporarily without report, projected real time holding uses holding information from the closest period, assuming no change in holding shares. In reality, projected real time holding tracks three quarters (270 days) for each institution without up to date period report, and uses its closest holding information as current holding on the day when analysis was performed. Projected real time holding is updated every Sunday.

Besides of tracking institutional holding total and percentage of holding to shares outstanding, it also documented the quantile ranking of the holding percentage in corresponding industry, sector, and on the whole market. The figure above shows the projected real time holding of AAPL, which indicates a decrease in holding total (light blue), holding/shares outstanding (green), holding industry quantile (blue) from Nov 2014 to Nov 2015. However, there is no change in sector quantile (dark yellow), and slight increase in market quantile (grey), suggesting institutions are disposing shares in other industry(ies) or sector(s).
