Use the information to analyze specific funds, as well as aggregate mutual funds and measure their overall exposure to certain sectors and securities.
- Data sources – FactSet uses publicly-available sources for its mutual fund data. These sources are usually defined by a specific country's disclosure regulations. The report dates are usually the fiscal-period-ending data of the fund's quarterly, semiannual, or annual report.
