How we computed it
  • Per filer, across their equity trades, the share disclosed more than 45 days after the transaction.
  • Filers with fewer than 5 equity trades in our data are excluded, because a single late filing out of two is not a pattern.
What this CANNOT tell you
  • Small numbers. Several filers here have only a handful of trades, and a 100% late rate on six trades is a much weaker claim than the same rate on six hundred.
  • Disclosures are frequently filed by a spouse, an adviser, or a blind trust, and the named individual may have had no involvement in either the trade or the filing.
  • Late filing is a paperwork failure. It is not, on its own, evidence of anything else, and we are not alleging that it is.
