Edgr

@abdelilahdr Hi Abdelilah, Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately the app is currently only available in the US and Canada, but we are hoping to expand to other regions shortly. Please stay tuned.

@jonathan_mbuyi Hi Jonathan! The financial regulations of different jurisdictions may vary, so we wan't to ensure we are in compliance with local laws before launching outside the US and Canada. That being said, having global reach is one of our top priorities.

@kurosh_hashemi Hi Kurosh, We appreciate your excitement and great questions! 1. On Edgr you’ll find only a small set (roughly 300 funds) which report to the SEC. Thus, we’ve done the legwork of determining which funds seem to be most suitable for a portfolio replication strategy. As compared to your previous approach, this is already a much smaller data set you need to traverse. In addition, the Edgr Index highlights a maximum of only 20 stocks from the latest set of filings. If you don’t want to spend the time sorting through individual fund filings, then researching these stocks is a good place to start. 2. Yes, there is a 45-day lag. However, the funds on our platform generally hold securities long term and this delay isn’t so much of an issue. We also provide you with back tested returns for each fund across different time horizons so that you may visualize for yourself how its reported holdings performed since they were made public. While not all funds have strong performance, as calculated purely from their Form 13F filings, you will find that many do in fact consistently outperform market benchmarks. 3. The Edgr Index is derived by using an algorithm which can be “back tested”. Thus, by using SEC filing data going back to 2005, we are able calculate what the hypothetical return on a portfolio would be had stocks been bought and sold on each filing date as mandated by the algorithm. The stocks in the Edgr Index are updated on every 13F filing due date and stocks which no longer appear in the index are assumed to have been sold. Legally speaking, we must say that past performance is no guarantee of the future results and our back tested calculations may contain some degree of statistical error. 4. At present, Edgr is simply an investment research tool. You would have to replicate any insights you gain on our platform in your personal brokerage account. However, we hope to eventually make Edgr an investible index.
