Scion Asset Management’s portfolio

How these numbers are made

• Source: Form 13F-HR reports and their amendments (13F-HR/A) on SEC EDGAR. Holdings are read from the XML information tables of the reports. Those exist from the quarter to June 30, 2013; older reports are plain text and are not used here.
• Values were reported in thousands of dollars until the SEC’s change of January 3, 2023, and in dollars since; all are shown in dollars. Each report is checked by its value per share.
• A stock often takes several lines of a report, one per subsidiary or adviser that holds it. The lines are added up by CUSIP, the security’s identifier; options are kept apart.
• Amendments are applied in the order they were filed: a restatement replaces the quarter’s report, “new holdings” adds positions that had been kept confidential.
• Moves compare every holding with the previous report. After a stock split the earlier share count is converted to the new basis (splits of S&P 500 companies from their SEC filings, others from the value per share). The dollar amount of a move is the change in shares times the quarter-end price, so it only approximates what was paid or received.
• A stock whose CUSIP changes (after a merger or a reorganization) shows as sold under the old CUSIP and bought under the new one.
• Tickers come from the SEC’s fail-to-deliver data. A holding links to a company page here only when its CUSIP belongs to that S&P 500 company.
• No holdings reports for Q4 2016 – Q3 2018.
• Checked every night. Reports are due 45 days after each quarter ends: in mid-February, May, August and November.
• Not investment advice: by the time a 13F is public the position may be gone, and it is only part of what the investor owns.
