Stake filters

Every filter for 13D and 13G ownership stake rules, with examples.

Stake rules send an alert when an investor reports owning more than 5% of a company. See Ownership stakes (13D and 13G) for what the alert shows.

Filter What it does Example
Symbol filter Only these companies, or the companies in a watchlist. TSLA
Stake type Activist (a 13D, the investor may try to influence the company), Passive (a 13G, an investment only) or Any. Activist
Min % owned Only filings that report at least this percentage of the company. 10 for 10% or more
Filing Initial (the first report of a stake), Amendment (an update to an earlier report) or Any. Initial

Good to know

  • Min % owned uses the largest percentage reported in the filing. Filings that don't state a percentage never pass this filter.
  • Amendments are much more common than initial filings. Large fund managers file many routine updates. Choose Initial to hear only about new stakes.
  • An amendment can report that the investor now owns less than 5%, meaning they sold down. These still pass Amendment and Any.

Example rules

  • New activist stakes: Stake type Activist, Filing Initial.
  • Anyone crossing 20% in my watchlist: Watchlist Small caps, Min % owned 20.
