The Institutional Edge
Institutional investors account for approximately 85% of all U.S. equity trading volume. Their research budgets dwarf anything available to individual investors — yet their mandatory 13F disclosures give you a window into their highest-conviction ideas.
Positioned curates these filings into four distinct watchlist categories, each designed to surface a different type of institutional intelligence — from concentrated super-investor bets to broad market flow signals.
Super-Investors
Follow concentrated, high-conviction portfolios from legendary investors. Large position changes in these funds are meaningful signals of deep fundamental conviction.

Who Controls the Market
A handful of institutional giants control a staggering concentration of U.S. equity capital. Vanguard and BlackRock alone manage over $34 trillion in reported 13F holdings — more than the GDP of the United States and China combined.
When these firms adjust their portfolios, the ripple effects are felt across every sector and every stock. Tracking their quarterly position changes provides unmatched insight into the long-term direction of institutional capital flows.

Capital Flows: The Full Picture
Understanding where institutional capital is flowing requires seeing both sides of the equation. Tracking only what's being bought gives you half the story — knowing what's being sold reveals the other half.
When firms like BlackRock and Vanguard are aggressively accumulating a stock while simultaneously reducing positions in another, that rotation signal can be far more valuable than any single buy or sell in isolation.
Positioned surfaces both the largest accumulations and distributions each quarter, helping you identify the complete flow of institutional conviction.

Institutional Dominance
Institutional investors account for roughly 85% of all U.S. equity trading volume. Their buying and selling decisions move markets — and 13F filings let you see exactly where that capital is flowing.
