Frequently Asked Questions |
- Who is Disclosure Insight®?
Disclosure Insight® is an independent provider of investment research. Originally founded as SEC Insight in 2000, we gained notoriety for pioneering the use of the Freedom of Information Act to find undisclosed SEC problems. To better reflect that our expertise in risk-profiling now goes well beyond SEC matters, in March 2008 SEC Insight, Inc. changed its name to Disclosure Insight, Inc.
Disclosure Insight® remains a proud member of the Investorside® Research Association, a non-profit trade association of investment research providers that do not engage in investment banking, company consulting or research-for-hire.
- How do I access materials on disclosureinsight.com?
Contact us at 763-595-0900 to discuss your options. We also publish our research to Capital IQ.
- Do you have a focus list?
- Do you still file Freedom of Information Act requests to get data about undisclosed SEC problems?
Yes, we do. We file approximately 2,500 a year.
- Do you give complimentary trials?
Nope. We found most people don't take them seriously.
- Can I talk to your analysts?
Yes, but only if you are a subscriber. Please keep in mind that neither our reports nor any direct communications you have with our staff should be construed as investment advice.
- Do you use blast voice mail?
Yes, but again only for subscribers. This popular option is used by half of our subscribers because our blast voice mails do two things they like: None exceeds 60 seconds in length and most maintain a scrappy sense of playful irreverence that keeps this job fun.
- What does Disclosure Insight® charge for the service?
Call us at 763-595-0900 to discuss payment options that will work for you.
- I work in a vote shop. Can I gain access to your research?
You bet, but please don't forget to actually vote for us! Just give us a call at 763-595-0900. We'll work to quickly get you and your firm set up.
- Does Disclosure Insight® accept third-party payments?
Yes. You can use a third-party payment option to pay for just one report up to an enterprise-level subscription. While we're not a broker ourselves, our back office has relationships with most major soft dollar and commission-sharing brokerage desks. Contact us at 763-595-0900 to discuss what option works best for you.
- Can I buy individual D.I. Reports®?
Contact us at 763-595-0900 to discuss purchase options.

- Do the employees of Disclosure Insight® ever trade in their own accounts?
Disclosure Insight, Inc. requires its employees and principals to adhere to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct regarding potential conflicts of interest. This includes prohibiting its employees and principals from trading in their own accounts in any manner which might be deemed in conflict with client subscribers.
Further, and with few exceptions, Disclosure Insight, Inc. prohibits its employees and principals from trading of any kind in any individual public company securities, or derivatives thereof, on any company on which production of a new D.I. Report® has commenced. Such prohibitions shall remain in place until either 5 days after the individual D.I. Report® has been published or its production otherwise ceases. In addition, Disclosure Insight, Inc. prohibits its employees and principals from trading of any kind in any individual public company securities, or derivatives thereof, on any company on which we have received a response from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (or other regulatory authority) to one of our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests which suggests the presence of an undisclosed SEC or other governmental investigation and/or law enforcement activity. Such prohibitions on newly received FOIA data shall remain in place from when the material is received until either 5 days after it has been published or production on the data point otherwise ceases.
On a severely limited basis, we will permit employees to engage in trading of the sort that would be deemed in conflict with this policy such as “extreme financial hardship” as defined by the CFA Institute Code of Ethics.
Disclosure Insight, Inc. otherwise permits, and encourages, its employees to freely trade in any securities so long as such trading is not deemed as in conflict with this policy or client subscribers. We similarly place no holding period limits or restrictions on such personal trading. This could, and often does, include trading in mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETF’s), and derivatives thereof which may include covered names as components of the overall funds and/or ETF’s.
- Who owns Disclosure Insight®?
