Methodology & FAQ
How This Position History Is Sourced
Each row is one SEC Form 13F-HR filing disclosing this position. Share count, market value, and reported quarter are taken verbatim from the filing; portfolio weight is recomputed against the same filing's total reported equity book. Implied price-per-share is market value divided by shares — a quarter-end mark, not the manager's cost basis. See the full methodology document for the normalization rules.
