Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 2026
Welcome to HedgeTrace. By accessing or using hedgetrace.com ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
Nature of the Data
All institutional holdings data displayed on HedgeTrace comes from publicly available SEC 13F filings. HedgeTrace aggregates, processes, and displays this data for informational purposes only. We are not the original source of this data — the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is.
Not Financial Advice
HedgeTrace does not provide investment advice, financial recommendations, or endorsements of any kind. Nothing on this Site should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
The fact that an institutional investor holds or has traded a particular security does not mean it is suitable for you. You should always consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
No fiduciary relationship is created between HedgeTrace and any user of the Site. Your use of the information on HedgeTrace is entirely at your own risk.
Data Accuracy & Limitations
While we strive for accuracy, HedgeTrace makes no guarantees regarding the completeness, correctness, or timeliness of the data displayed. Important limitations include:
- SEC 13F filings are reported on a delay — up to 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
- Holdings data reflects a point in time and may not represent an institution's current positions.
- Data may contain errors originating from source filings or from our processing.
- 13F filings only cover certain equity positions and do not represent a fund's complete portfolio.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Scrape, crawl, or use automated systems to access the Site without our written permission.
- Redistribute, resell, or republish HedgeTrace data at scale.
- Use the Site in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its operation.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its systems.
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
Intellectual Property
The Site's design, code, branding, logos, and original content are the property of HedgeTrace and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute these materials without our permission.
The underlying SEC filing data is in the public domain. Our intellectual property rights apply to the way we aggregate, present, and display that data — not to the raw data itself.
User Accounts
If you create an account on HedgeTrace, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used in an abusive or unauthorized manner.
Limitation of Liability
HedgeTrace is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- HedgeTrace is not liable for any investment decisions you make based on data shown on the Site.
- We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or costs arising from data delays, inaccuracies, or site downtime.
- Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the Site is limited to the amount you have paid us, if any.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HedgeTrace and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved in the courts located in Arizona.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of HedgeTrace after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
