# ETF static profile from the SEC annual prospectus (485BPOS)

`GET /api/v1/etf/{symbol}/profile/sec`

Static fund profile for one ETF underlier from the SEC's annual prospectus on Form 485BPOS (the post-effective amendment carrying the audited Financial Highlights). Surfaces the latest fiscal-year-end NAV per share, fund net assets, expense ratio, and net-investment-income ratio (the Tier S yield proxy), plus the fiscal-year-end date and an inception date extracted from the N-1A body. These same fields feed the canonical /etf/{symbol}/snapshot payload (NAV / AUM / expense ratio / yields / inception); this endpoint exposes the raw extract with its SEC provenance (cik / accession / fye_date). Figures are ANNUAL + period-stale by construction - compare fye_date against today to gauge freshness. Returns 404 profile_unavailable when the fund's Financial Highlights table could not be confidently located (per-sub-family filing reality) or the ETF files 10-K instead of N-1A (commodity-pool / grantor-trust structures: USO, UNG, GLD, SLV).

## Path parameters

- `symbol` string, required — ETF underlier ticker.

## Response `200`

SEC 485BPOS prospectus profile payload.

- EnvelopeSecProspectusPayload
  - `data` SecProspectusPayload, required — DATA-N4.3 / N4.2 derived endpoint: ETF static profile from the SEC annual prospectus (Form 485BPOS). Per-ETF blob written by the ``monthly_sec_prospectus`` Timer (15th 06:00 UTC). The 485BPOS is the post-effective amendment carrying the fund's audited Financial Highlights table; the ingest extracts the latest fiscal-year-end column (NAV / net assets / expense ratio / net-investment-income ratio), the fiscal-year-end date itself, and an independent inception date from the N-1A prospectus body. These same fields feed the canonical ``/etf/{symbol}/snapshot`` payload (NAV / AUM / expense ratio / yields / inception); this endpoint surfaces the raw prospectus extract directly with its source provenance (``cik`` / ``accession`` / ``fye_date``). The figures are ANNUAL + period-stale by construction: ``fye_date`` gives the fiscal-year-end the NAV / ratios are as-of. Compare it against today to gauge freshness. Returns 404 ``profile_unavailable`` when the fund's Financial Highlights table could not be confidently located (per-sub-family filing reality / new-fund prospectus) or the ETF files 10-K instead of N-1A (commodity-pool / grantor-trust structures: USO, UNG, GLD, SLV).
    - `version` string, nullable — Blob schema version.
    - `source` string, nullable — Upstream SEC form identifier.
    - `ticker` string, nullable — ETF underlier ticker.
    - `cik` integer, nullable — SEC Central Index Key of the registrant.
    - `series_id` string, nullable — SEC series identifier (multi-class trusts), when resolved.
    - `class_id` string, nullable — SEC class/contract identifier (share class), when resolved.
    - `accession` string, nullable — SEC filing accession number (dashed format).
    - `filing_date` string, nullable — Date the 485BPOS was filed (YYYY-MM-DD).
    - `fye_date` string, nullable — Fiscal-year-end date the Financial Highlights figures are as-of (YYYY-MM-DD). The NAV / ratios reflect this latest audited column.
    - `nav_per_share` number, nullable — Net asset value per share, end of period (audited).
    - `net_assets` number, nullable — Fund net assets, end of period, in USD (unit-normalised from the filing's thousands / millions notation).
    - `expense_ratio_pct` number, nullable — Ratio of net (or total) expenses to average net assets, percent.
    - `net_investment_income_pct` number, nullable — Ratio of net investment income to average net assets, percent. Used as the Tier S yield proxy in the snapshot.
    - `inception_date` string, nullable — Fund inception date (ISO), extracted from the N-1A body ('commenced operations on ...'). Null when absent.
    - `status` string, nullable — Per-ticker ingest status. ``ok`` when the Financial Highlights parsed; visible non-fabricating statuses otherwise (``no_cik`` / ``no_485bpos`` / ``no_financial_highlights`` / ``parse_error`` / ``out_of_bounds`` / ...).
    - `fetched_at` string, nullable — ISO-8601 timestamp of when Sugra ingest captured the blob.
    - `cycle_started_at` string, nullable — ISO-8601 timestamp of the ingest cycle that produced the blob.
    - `data_source` string, nullable — Canonical source slug echoed for this endpoint.
    - `license_attribution` string, nullable — U.S. Public Domain (federal data, 17 USC 105).
  - `meta` SugraMeta, required — Metadata on a /api/v1/* response envelope built through `helpers.response.sugra_response`, which is how routes are expected to answer. A route that assembles its own `meta` dict carries only the keys it writes itself, so an optional field below can be absent because this response has nothing to report OR because that route does not build its envelope here - the two are not distinguishable from the outside (API-43).
    - `endpoint` string, required — Requested endpoint path.
    - `data_time` string, required — ISO 8601 timestamp the data on this response is stamped with. It is the source's own timestamp whenever the source supplied one this API could read; when it did not, this field falls back to the value of `response_time` and `data_age_days` is omitted, so the PRESENCE of that field is the signal to read - with the one exception named in its own description, a route that substitutes its own current time for a source timestamp it never received. Usually UTC (`Z`), but a source stating its own numeric offset keeps it (2026-04-16T14:30:00+09:00) rather than being converted a second time. For a source that publishes by period this is the period's START (see `period`) and for one that publishes by calendar day it is that day's midnight - in neither case a moment at which anything was observed or released.
    - `response_time` string, required — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when this response was produced.
    - `provider` string, required — API name and version.
    - `data_age_days` number, nullable — Age of the data in days at the moment this response was produced, i.e. `response_time` minus `data_time`. Present ONLY when the timestamp this response is stamped with is a clock time that could be read as a real instant. It is ABSENT - never 0 - in every other case. Absent when no readable source timestamp was supplied, because `data_time` then repeats `response_time` and a zero age would assert that the data is current precisely where its true age is unknown. Absent when the source names a calendar day, a month, a quarter or a year (see `period`): the instant is then a boundary this API anchored at midnight, and time since a day or a quarter BEGAN is a different quantity from the age of the data - a daily series is out by up to a day, a quarterly one by up to a quarter. A midnight counts as such a boundary whichever zone it is stated in, and whether the source stated it or this API anchored it. The one case this field cannot see is a route that substitutes its own current time for a source timestamp it never received: the substituted value is a real, readable instant and is indistinguishable from one the source stated, so the age reads as roughly 0. The shared cache-and-fetch helper behind most routes stopped doing that (API-43), but the presence of this field is a statement about the timestamp the response carries, not a guarantee about the route that supplied it. Rounded to 0.001 day (86.4 seconds), so 0.0 is a real measured age anywhere within roughly +/-43 seconds and not a stand-in for unknown; a source stamping an instant in the future reports a negative value (-0.001 or less) rather than being clamped. Sources publish on very different cadences, so a non-zero age is normal, not an error. Preserve absence in client code: a generated client that materialises a missing optional number as its numeric default turns 'age unknown' back into 'age zero', which is the exact confusion this field exists to remove.
    - `source` string, nullable — Identifier of the primary upstream source used for this response.
    - `attribution` string, nullable — Human-readable attribution mandated by an upstream source (e.g. a securities regulator or self-regulatory organization). Present only on responses whose source requires the owner and source to be clearly identified. Do not remove or alter it when using the response.
    - `fallback_used` boolean, nullable — True when the primary source failed and a fallback produced the data.
    - `fallback_chain` string[], nullable — Ordered list of sources attempted, in the order they were tried.
    - `cached` boolean, nullable — True when this response was served from the internal cache.
    - `stale` boolean, nullable — True when the cached response was returned after the upstream rate-limited or errored. Clients can use this to detect degraded data.
    - `period` string, nullable — Unit of observation, when the source publishes by period rather than by instant. `data_time` carries the period's START instant so it stays machine-readable; this field preserves what that instant used to mean, which the conversion would otherwise erase. Present only for such sources, and only when the source hands the API the label itself - a client that converts the period to its start instant before building the envelope loses the label, though not the age exclusion, which is decided by the instant. Note that `data_age_days` is omitted whenever this is present, because an age measured from a period start is not a freshness figure.
    - `notes` string, nullable — Data-quality caveat about THIS response - how old the underlying report is, a chokepoint AIS lower-bound, or that a source-reported `data_time` could not be read and the response time is shown instead. Distinct from `attribution`, which is a licensing obligation. Multiple caveats are joined with ' | '. Present only when there is one.

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header. JSON body with a stable `code` distinguishing `missing_api_key` (no header sent) from `invalid_api_key` (header sent, key not accepted); any other 401 source carries the generic `unauthorized` with its detail as `reason`. Plus `hint`. `plan` is always null on 401 - an unauthenticated request has no plan; quota exhaustion is 429, not 401.
- `422` — Validation Error
- `429` — Daily rate limit exceeded. Check `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the next window.
- `503` — Upstream source is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay.
