On SEC EDGAR ↗

Positions as of Mar 31, 2017, from Magnetar Financial LLC's 13F filing with the SEC. A 13F lists a manager's US-listed stocks and options at a quarter end and is filed up to 45 days later, so the fund may hold something else today. It leaves out short positions, cash and holdings outside the US.

The filing on SEC EDGAR ↗

Price is a stock's reported value over its shares at the quarter end. The estimated gain is the shares held at both quarter ends times the change in that price: shares bought or sold during the quarter add nothing, options are left out, and a stock split is read into the earlier share count and price.

What made money

From Q4 2016 to Q1 2017: 2 stocks held throughout, down $21.5M (−14.1%).

  1. Western Refng Inc−$9.4M−7%
  2. Rite Aid Corp−$12.1M−48%

Estimated as in the holdings table: shares held at both quarter ends times the change in price; options left out.

Reported value by quarter

The total value of each quarter's 13F at that quarter end. It moves with prices as well as with buying and selling. Pick a quarter to see what the fund held then.
