Knowledge Mosaic’s SEC Forms Guide
For years, we’ve helped our users disentangle the perplexity of SEC form types. But now the terrain is a little smoother, with the arrival of our very own SEC Forms Guide. Far from the comprehensive – but often tedious – EDGAR forms descriptions offered by the SEC, this guide defines and illuminates some of the most valuable and commonly used SEC forms. Crafted by the research team here at Knowledge Mosaic, it offers unique insight from those who work with these filings every day.

KWIC for Printable Reports
If you need to print a quick snapshot of the results you’ve returned, you know you can turn to Printable Reports, located on the right side of the tan navigation bar along the top of your results page. You probably also know that the name "Printable Reports" is something of a misnomer--for in addition to being printer-friendly, they can also be emailed, or even converted into a PDF and saved for later use.
What you may not know is that this feature now includes highlighting of your keywords-in-context for text searches. A valuable resource just got better.

Search on Investment Companies and Mutual Funds
Our SEC Filings page offers dozens of useful search parameters, both qualitative and quantitative. We’ve recently introduced the ability to filter by entities that are registered with the SEC as Investment Companies under the Act of 1940. Or, narrow your search even further to Mutual Fund filers only. Use our new Fund Families lookup to map the genealogy of "children" (Fund series and class/contract levels) to "parents" (the main Funds).

Agency Materials
Because federal regulation increasingly crosses agency boundaries, we've introduced our Agency Materials section, which lets you search across documents for numerous regulatory bodies, especially those focused on commerce, trade, and finance.

Analytics
We’ve introduced an analytics and reporting platform to help you discover truths hidden deep within thousands of agency enforcement and company disclosure documents. Here, you can search SEC Enforcement and FINRA Adjudication records by defendant name or position, violation, and penalty type or amount; then extract this data to analyze trends in enforcement and litigation. Or you can read original reports and white papers from the Knowledge Mosaic editorial team, grounded in data we have mined from these and other resources across our platform.

Exhibits Searching
You may have noticed that we no longer offer a dedicated Exhibits Search page. That’s because we’ve incorporated it into our SEC Filings page. To access it, just click the “Exhibits Only” radio button. Our new exhibits searching maintains all of its previous functionality, and now offers a great deal more! Use every parameter available on the Filings page to narrow your exhibits search, or employ some of our new exhibit-specific features, like Exhibit Number text search, or a list of Investment Company exhibits.

View Exhibits in Word
From our new SEC Filings search page, you can now extract individual exhibits in MS Word format. To do so, select the radio button for Exhibits Only in the Forms & Exhibits section. Enter any other desired search parameters, and click Search. Click the hyperlinked exhibit number to open it; then click the drop-down display menu at the upper right and select Word. Make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off to download the exhibit.

Upgrades on SEC Watchlist form groups
We’ve made a subtle but significant improvement in our platform for setting up personalized SEC Watchlist Alerts. Now, those who create or edit a Watchlist using the form type or form group parameter will be directed to a brand new window. The innovation is that manually checking boxes for form groups now autofills the check boxes for their corresponding form types.
How does this benefit you? Three ways. First, the exact content of form groups are now immediately visible and thus transparent. Second, that content is now easily manipulated: our preselected form groups can now serve as customizable templates that you can edit by manually checking or unchecking boxes. Third, you may now combine multiple form groups in a single Watchlist.
