Where does this information comes from and why it is totally different then other websites (Yahoo, Google, Nasdaq, MSN, etc..)?

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requires anyone holding more than $100 Million of 13F securities in their investment discretion to report their holdings (quantity and value) on Form 13F each quarter. They specify the exact format and managers have 45 days after the quarter to file - some special investors might get longer.

We can then get the filing for the latest quarter and compare it to the filing from the previous quarter - determine changes in holdings.

Now the difference between us and the other websites:

1) You will notice on Yahoo, Google, etc... that they intermix the quarters! Therefore the number of owners or value of holding is mixed between both old and new periods.
We report only the current period in real-time as the managers file with the SEC
 
2) The changes in value listed are just total value. They include price appreciation and not just new investment dollars.
Example: Previously 10 shares @ $2 = $20, now 10 shares @ $3 = $30 - most websites (Google, Yahoo, Nasdaq) will show an increase holdings of $10 when $0 was actually invested.
We do the math and seperate price appreciation from new investments - and then base all ranking/calculations on true new dollars invested

We don't include filers who didn't follow the required SEC format. Likewise, we report exactly what was filed with the SEC. If the manager made a mistake, when they file an amendment, we will process the amendment and update the website.

About Mffais.com

Since 1995, Mffais has been providing unique Institutional Investment information to individuals, businesses, reporters, bloggers, students and retirees. Before May 2013, Mffais supplied "the numbers", raw holding information from Institutional Investors required SEC filings. Allowing users to sort, download, filter or query the information directly - however only "power investors" had the time or inclination to use the raw numbers.

We kept receiving requests from our friends for "just the answers".

Unfortunately, "the answer" is different amoung investors. Using online investment forums and other social media, we narrowed down what "the answer" represented to most people - kind of ;)

Basically, to know which stocks/bonds/funds/call option they should take a closer look at - they are looking for investment ideas.

We found that most people have 3 buckets to base their stock ideas from:
1) Strength: The most new money.
2) Confidence: The most number of people investing >9% of the new investments into the issue.
3) Successful: The most number of people who was successful. Succesful Defined: At least 66% of last period investments increased in value.

Additionally, sometimes they want to limit their ideas to an industry or country.

As a result of our real-time, objective and unique approach Today it has become the leading source of investment ideas.
