Retrieves aggregated hedge fund time series from the public OFR API for research on industry size, leverage, counterparty concentration, and liquidity. It supports finding datasets, comparing series, and downloading data without an API key.
Query the OFR (Office of Financial Research) Hedge Fund Monitor API for hedge fund data including SEC Form PF aggregated statistics, CFTC Traders in Financial Futures, FICC Sponsored Repo volumes, and FRB SCOOS dealer financing terms. Access time series data on hedge fund size, leverage, counterparties, liquidity, complexity, and risk management. No API key or registration required. Use when working with hedge fund data, systemic risk monitoring, financial stability research, hedge fund leverage or leverage ratios, counterparty concentration, Form PF statistics, repo market data, or OFR financial research data.

The HFM organizes data into six categories (each downloadable as CSV):
| Endpoint | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| List mnemonics | GET /metadata/mnemonics | All series identifiers |
| Query series info | GET /metadata/query?mnemonic= | Full metadata for one series |
| Search series | GET /metadata/search?query= | Text search with wildcards (*, ?) |
| Endpoint | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Single timeseries | GET /series/timeseries?mnemonic= | Date/value pairs for one series |
| Full single | GET /series/full?mnemonic= | Data + metadata for one series |
| Multi full | GET /series/multifull?mnemonics=A,B | Data + metadata for multiple series |
| Dataset | GET /series/dataset?dataset=fpf | All series in a dataset |
| Category CSV | GET /categories?category=leverage | CSV download for a category |
| Spread | GET /calc/spread?x=MNE1&y=MNE2 | Difference between two series |
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
start_date | Start date YYYY-MM-DD | 2020-01-01 |
end_date | End date YYYY-MM-DD | 2024-12-31 |
periodicity | Resample frequency | Q, M, A, D, W |
how | Aggregation method | last (default), first, mean, median, sum |
remove_nulls | Drop null values | true |
time_format | Date format | date (YYYY-MM-DD) or ms (epoch ms) |
