# Get top institutions by AUM

`GET /intelligence/institutions/top`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public`
- URL: `https://api.signal8.ai/api/v1/public/intelligence/institutions/top`
- Auth: API key in header `X-Api-Key`

Discover top institutional holders across the entire company universe
ranked by assets under management (AUM). Optionally filter by sector
to find top institutions in a specific industry. Useful for identifying
smart money flows and major institutional positioning trends.

Managers whose latest HOLDINGS period is older than the quarter before
the market's current period are excluded (e.g. a manager filing only
13F-NT notices keeps a stale AUM that would otherwise rank). Pass
`includeStale=true` to include them, labelled `holdingsStale: true`.
`periodOfReport` is the period each AUM figure is as of.

**Credit cost: 25**
