Tools Reference
ETF Analysis Tools
fmp_etf_holdings
Retrieves the full list of constituent holdings and their portfolio weights for an ETF.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (ETF ticker, e.g. SPY, QQQ, VWO)
- Returns: Array of holdings with ticker, name, weight percentage, and share count
- Use when: You need to see exactly what an ETF owns and in what proportions
fmp_etf_holdings(symbol="SPY")
fmp_etf_info
Returns ETF or fund metadata including expense ratio, AUM (assets under management), inception date, issuer, and investment strategy description.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (ETF ticker)
- Returns: Fund profile with expense ratio, AUM, inception date, issuer, description
- Use when: Evaluating fund costs, size, or comparing similar ETFs
fmp_etf_info(symbol="QQQ")
fmp_etf_country_weightings
Breaks down an ETF's geographic allocation by country, showing what percentage of the fund is invested in each country.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (ETF ticker)
- Returns: Country-level allocation percentages
- Use when: Assessing geographic risk concentration or international diversification
fmp_etf_country_weightings(symbol="VWO")
fmp_etf_asset_exposure
Performs a reverse lookup to find which ETFs hold a specific stock and at what weight. This is the inverse of fmp_etf_holdings.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (stock ticker, e.g. AAPL, MSFT)
- Returns: List of ETFs that hold the specified stock, with weight in each fund
- Use when: Mapping passive ownership of a stock, or finding ETFs with exposure to a specific name
fmp_etf_asset_exposure(symbol="AAPL")
fmp_etf_sector_weightings
Breaks down an ETF's sector allocation, showing what percentage of the fund is invested in each GICS sector.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (ETF ticker)
- Returns: Sector-level allocation percentages (Technology, Healthcare, Financials, etc.)
- Use when: Evaluating sector concentration risk or comparing sector tilts across funds
fmp_etf_sector_weightings(symbol="SPY")
Fund Disclosure Tools
fmp_fund_disclosure_holders
Returns the latest institutional fund holders for a given stock, showing which mutual funds and institutional investors hold positions.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (stock ticker)
- Returns: List of institutional holders with fund name, shares held, market value, and weight
- Use when: Identifying the largest institutional owners of a stock
fmp_fund_disclosure_holders(symbol="TSLA")
fmp_fund_disclosure
Retrieves a specific quarterly disclosure filing (13F) for a fund, showing all positions held at the end of that quarter.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (fund CIK or ticker), year (filing year), quarter (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)
- Returns: Complete position list with shares, market value, and changes from prior quarter
- Use when: Examining a fund's full portfolio at a specific point in time, or comparing quarter-over-quarter changes
fmp_fund_disclosure(symbol="VWO", year=2025, quarter="Q4")
fmp_fund_disclosure_search
Searches fund disclosure filings by fund name. Useful when you know the fund name but not its CIK or ticker.
- Key Inputs:
name (fund name or partial name, e.g. "Berkshire", "Bridgewater")
- Returns: Matching fund names with identifiers that can be used with other disclosure tools
- Use when: Looking up a specific fund manager's filings by name
fmp_fund_disclosure_search(name="Berkshire")
fmp_fund_disclosure_dates
Lists all available disclosure filing dates for a given fund, so you know which quarters have data.
- Key Inputs:
symbol (fund CIK or ticker)
- Returns: List of available filing dates/quarters
- Use when: Determining which periods are available before pulling a specific disclosure
fmp_fund_disclosure_dates(symbol="VWO")
Usage Patterns
1. ETF Due Diligence
A full top-down analysis of an ETF before recommending or investing. Start with the fund profile, then drill into what it holds and how it is allocated.
Step 1: fmp_etf_info(symbol="VWO") → Expense ratio, AUM, inception, strategy
Step 2: fmp_etf_holdings(symbol="VWO") → Top holdings and their weights
Step 3: fmp_etf_sector_weightings(symbol="VWO") → Sector allocation breakdown
Step 4: fmp_etf_country_weightings(symbol="VWO") → Geographic allocation breakdown
Analyst output: Summarize fund characteristics, highlight concentration risks (top-10 holdings weight, single-country or single-sector dominance), compare expense ratio to peer group, and flag any allocation surprises.
2. Passive Ownership Analysis
Determine which ETFs hold a specific stock and quantify passive fund exposure. Critical for understanding how index rebalancing or ETF flows might impact a stock.
Step 1: fmp_etf_asset_exposure(symbol="AAPL") → Which ETFs hold Apple and at what weight
Step 2: For top ETFs returned, call fmp_etf_info → Get AUM to estimate dollar exposure
Analyst output: Rank ETFs by estimated dollar exposure (weight * AUM), calculate total passive ownership as a percentage of the stock's market cap, and identify potential flow-driven price sensitivity.
3. Fund Flow Tracking
Compare a fund's holdings across consecutive quarters to track position changes, new positions, and exits.
Step 1: fmp_fund_disclosure_dates(symbol="VWO") → Confirm available quarters
Step 2: fmp_fund_disclosure(symbol="VWO", year=2025, quarter="Q3") → Q3 snapshot
Step 3: fmp_fund_disclosure(symbol="VWO", year=2025, quarter="Q4") → Q4 snapshot
Step 4: Diff the two disclosures → Identify adds, trims, exits
Analyst output: Highlight the largest position increases and decreases by shares and market value, flag new positions and full exits, and interpret the directional thesis implied by the changes.
4. Institutional Ownership Mapping
Identify who the largest fund holders of a stock are, then drill into their full portfolios to understand conviction level.
Step 1: fmp_fund_disclosure_holders(symbol="NVDA") → Largest fund holders of NVDA
Step 2: fmp_fund_disclosure_search(name="Vanguard") → Find Vanguard's fund identifier
Step 3: fmp_fund_disclosure(symbol=<id>, year=2025, quarter="Q4") → Full Vanguard portfolio
Step 4: Calculate NVDA weight in Vanguard's total portfolio → Gauge conviction
Analyst output: Rank institutional holders by position size, distinguish between passive index holders and active managers with conviction positions, and track quarter-over-quarter changes in institutional ownership.
Best Practices
- Combine ETF tools with market data tools: After pulling holdings via
fmp_etf_holdings, use fmp_quote or fmp_company_profile from the market data skill to enrich each holding with live prices, market cap, and fundamentals.
- Cross-reference sector weightings: Compare
fmp_etf_sector_weightings output against benchmark sector weights to quantify over/underweight positions.
- Use disclosure dates before disclosure pulls: Always call
fmp_fund_disclosure_dates first to confirm data availability before requesting a specific quarter, avoiding empty responses.
- Batch ETF lookups: When comparing multiple ETFs (e.g. SPY vs QQQ vs IWM), run the same tool across all symbols and present results side by side for quick comparison.
- Track disclosure cadence: Fund disclosures are filed quarterly with a 45-day delay. The most recent quarter may not yet be available. Check dates first.
