Each quarter, hedge funds must disclose their holdings of publicly traded companies.

Their monitoring includes famous investors and funds like Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway; Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund; David Tepper's Appaloosa Management; and Daniel Loeb's Third Point Capital. "It makes sense that people pay attention to what hedge fund managers are buying, selling and holding," the firm said. "We want to replicate their success.
