Monthly portfolio holdings report (Form N-PORT)

The facts

Who files

A registered management investment company, or an exchange-traded fund organised as a unit investment trust, or a series of either, other than a fund regulated as a money market fund under rule 2a-7 or a small business investment company registered on Form N-5. Source

How often

Monthly: a report must be filed for every month, current as of the last business day or last calendar day of that month. Before the 2024 amendments took effect (17 November 2025, or 18 May 2026 for fund groups with under $1 billion in net assets), the three monthly reports for a fiscal quarter were bundled into one filing after the quarter-end instead. Source

Deadline

Reports on Form N-PORT must be filed with the Commission no later than 30 days after the end of each month. Source

Format

XML. Filed electronically on EDGAR as a structured XML submission; a fund's Regulation S-X compliant portfolio schedule for the first and third fiscal-quarter months is attached as a separate Part F (Exhibit F) exhibit. Source

How it is filed

Filing routes recorded for the SEC: EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval); Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD) and Private Fund Reporting Depository (PFRD); Central Registration Depository (CRD). See how firms file with the SEC.

Status

In forceRule 30b1-9 was amended in September 2024 to make Form N-PORT a true monthly filing: reports are now due 30 days after each month-end (rather than bundled into one filing 60 days after each fiscal quarter-end), and the SEC now publishes most of each month's data 60 days after that month-end (rather than only the third month of each quarter). The amendment took effect for most fund groups on 17 November 2025 and for fund groups with net assets under $1 billion on 18 May 2026, so by the date this was checked both dates had passed and the new monthly regime applies.

Form N-PORT's own parts (general fund information, portfolio- and position-level data, risk metrics, explanatory notes) were not itemised from an HTML page this session; the one part confirmed from such a page is Part F (Exhibit F), the Regulation S-X compliant portfolio schedule attached for the first and third month of each fiscal quarter.

Validation rules

No published validation rules were found for this return. No published catalogue of Form N-PORT edit checks was found on sec.gov; EDGAR validates the XML submission's structure against its own technical specification at filing time. Source

Public data

Published firm by firm. The SEC publishes Form N-PORT data sets, built only from information disseminated by the Commission, in quarterly ZIP downloads (each file around 400-690 MB over 2019-2026). Since the 2024 amendments took effect, most monthly data is published 60 days after each month-end rather than only the third month of each quarter; the SEC's own disclaimer warns the data may contain extraction errors and is not a substitute for the underlying filings.
