Form N-CEN is used by all registered investment companies, other than face-amount certificate companies to file annual reports with the Commission. The Form N-CEN data sets are extracted from N-CEN eXtensible Markup Language (XML) submissions in a flat file format to assist users in constructing the data for analysis. The data have been automatically and directly taken from submissions created by the registrants and provided as-filed.

The data sets will be updated quarterly. Data contained in documents filed after 5:30PM Eastern on the last business day of a quarter will be included in the subsequent quarterly posting. Form N-CEN readme (PDF) provides documentation of scope, organization, file formats and table definitions.

DISCLAIMER: The Form N-CEN data sets contain information derived exclusively from structured data filed with the Commission by individual registrants as well as Commission-generated filing identifiers. Because the data is derived from information provided by individual registrants, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. In addition, it is possible inaccuracies or other errors were introduced into the data during the process of extracting the data and compiling. Finally, the data does not reflect all available information, including certain metadata associated with Commission filings. The data are intended to assist the public in analyzing data contained in Commission filings; however, they are not a substitute for such filings. Investors should review the full Commission filings before making any investment decision.
