What is N-Q?
Historical quarterly portfolio-holdings schedule for registered management investment companies. A typical production assignment may involve legacy portfolio schedules and archived supporting material. The registrant, counsel or authorized filing agent decides whether this submission is appropriate, what disclosures are required and who approves the filing.
At a glance
Work to review: legacy portfolio schedules and archived supporting material.
Key checks: historical status, reporting period and whether current N-PORT requirements apply.
Which source files can be used?
Word and Excel may be available for historical source or holdings reconstruction; an existing HTML filing or PDF can be used for comparison. Scanned PDFs require extra transcription and review. Current portfolio reporting may require structured N-PORT data rather than a document conversion.
What is the output?
Form N-Q was rescinded effective August 1, 2019. This page is for historical document research or reconstruction, not a recommendation to make a new N-Q filing. Ask the filing team to confirm current N-PORT and other applicable requirements.
Do not assume N-Q remains a current reporting route; confirm the present requirement before starting.
N-Q production and quality checks
Start with an approved source and a clear document inventory. For N-Q, pay particular attention to historical status, reporting period and whether current N-PORT requirements apply. Compare the proof with the authorized source; resolve missing material and unclear instructions with the content owner instead of filling gaps by assumption.
- Confirm the exact submission variant, approved reporting period and the required primary document, exhibits or data files.
- Check text, figures, table relationships and references relevant to legacy portfolio schedules and archived supporting material against the approved source.
- Record authorized revisions, regenerate the proof and check affected content and package references again.
- Have the appropriate specialist review any required structured data, tagging, technical validation and submission messages.
