Methodology & FAQ
Methodology: How We Track GWRE Institutional Holdings
Our data is systematically aggregated directly from quarterly Form 13F-HR disclosures submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
- Who Must File (Reporting Threshold): This dataset includes filings from U.S. institutional investment managers, hedge funds, mutual funds, university endowments, and family offices managing at least $100 million in Section 13(f) securities (including equities, options, convertibles, ETFs, and warrants).
- What is Included (Data Scope): We capture long positions in Section 13(f) securities for GUIDEWIRE SOFTWARE INC (GWRE). By SEC regulation, 13F filings do not require the disclosure of short positions, non-U.S. holdings, or OTC derivatives. Listed options are excluded from portfolio weight calculations to ensure comparability across filers.
- Portfolio Weight Explained (Metric Definition): “Portfolio Weight” shows how much of a fund's total reported 13F portfolio value (excluding listed options) is allocated to GWRE on the specific reporting date.
- How to Use This Data (Interpretation): Quarter-over-quarter changes in shares and portfolio weight reflect a combination of active trading and market price movements. These are descriptive metrics of fund allocation, not explicit buy or sell signals.
How do you measure hedge fund conviction and institutional concentration in GWRE?
We evaluate fund conviction by looking at portfolio weight rather than just absolute share count. By tracking how the largest holders —such as Linonia , Darsana , and Route One Investment Company as of Q1 2026— change their position sizing quarter-over-quarter, we help investors distinguish between deliberate position sizing changes and passive mark-to-market drift.
Does the GWRE ownership data include short interest or options?
SEC Form 13F mandates the disclosure of long positions in Section 13(f) securities, which includes equities and listed options (put and call contracts), but excludes short interest, swaps, and OTC derivatives by regulatory design. On this platform, listed options are excluded from portfolio weight calculations to ensure comparability across filers.
Are family offices and university endowments included in this GWRE data?
Yes. In addition to traditional hedge funds and large asset managers, any institutional entity exercising investment discretion over at least $100 million in Section 13(f) securities must file a Form 13F. This explicitly includes single-family offices and university endowments. If a qualifying family office or endowment holds GWRE stock, their allocation is systematically aggregated alongside traditional fund data.
When is the institutional ownership data updated, and is there a reporting lag?
Institutional investment managers are required to file their Form 13F within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter (the standard “T+45” window). Our platform re-ingests new filings from the SEC EDGAR database on a nightly cycle, typically within 24–48 hours of publication, providing a point-in-time snapshot of reported consensus positioning for GWRE as of each filing date.
