Valuesider
valuesider.com
Free web tool for tracking “superinvestor” portfolios and stock ownership changes based on SEC 13F filings. Valuesider notes 13F data is delayed (filed up to 45 days after quarter-end) and incomplete (e.g., shorts not included), and states it only shows data from 2013 Q2 onward due to filing format limitations; shares/prices are split-adjusted. Terms prohibit bots/automated scraping.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
