On June 2nd, the SEC announced that Form N-CEN Data Sets are now available for download. Form N-CEN is used by all registered investment companies to file annual reports with the SEC, with the exception of face-amount certificate companies. The Form N-CEN Data Sets are extracted from the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Form N-CEN submissions. The data is displayed without change from the “as-filed” submissions and in a flattened format to provide readily available data from registrants.
The N-CEN download and other freely available data sets are accessible in the Data Library created by the Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA). The DERA Data Library provides for the public a central reference location to access all data sets that DERA makes available.
