________ | ¹ | An SEC “filing agent” is the entity submitting a Filing, often either a Registrant self-filing as the “Filer/Issuer” (non-bold above) or a registered Filing Agent (in bold herein). An SEC-registered Filing Agent is in the business of submitting Filings for other Registrants. You cannot tell whether an SEC filing agent’s CIK² is that of a Filing Agent or a Registrant, because Registrants may be (or own) Filing Agents (e.g., Donnelley Financial Solutions) or submit Filings for their directors/officers, and Filing Agents may be Registrants for other purposes (e.g., some Transfer Agents). Further complicating this, some “parents” submit Filings for their subsidiaries, Funds/ETFs or ABSs, and some Money Managers submit Filings for other related Money Managers. Our algorithms reconcile all of this, so we can determine which of the 180K+ historic filing agents are “true” Filing Agents and, of those 3K+, which are “pure” (90%) or not (10%). We consider a Registrant to be a “true” Filing Agent when they either have done Filings only for others or have done 32+ Filings for others for each Filing they did for themself as a “Filer/Issuer”. Hover your mouse over a CIK² above to see either if a filing agent is a “pure” Filing Agent (when all of their Filings have been for other Registrants) or the ratio of Filings for others versus for themself as a Registrant. | ² | To submit a Filing, an entity must first register with the SEC to receive an SEC Central Index Key (“CIK”). When a Filing is submitted, the CIK of the “filing agent” is used, and it may differ from that of the “Filer/Issuer”. The submitting filing agent may be a “true” Filing Agent or a Registrant who is self-filing or filing for a related Registrant. | ³ | Some “true” Filing Agents are not listed here. They are paying us to remain “anonymous” for competitive reasons, mostly to protect their client lists from easy access. |
