OpenFundex Dataset
A structured dataset of SEC financial filings for deep value analysis and financial distress prediction.
Dataset Description
- License: CC-BY-4.0
- Language: English
Summary
OpenFundex contains financial statement data extracted from SEC EDGAR filings, enriched with derived financial metrics and labeled with established quality scores (Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z'-Score, Graham metrics). Designed for training ML models to assess company financial health and identify deep value opportunities.
Key design decision: This dataset uses only fundamental data from SEC filings. No market prices or equity trading data are included, eliminating survivorship bias.
Supported Tasks
- Tabular Classification: Predict financial distress, value creation, fundamental improvement
- Tabular Regression: Predict quality scores (f_score, z_prime_score, composite_quality_score), growth rates
- Anomaly Detection: Identify companies in financial distress or with QA anomalies

Scoring Models
- Piotroski F-Score (0-9): Nine binary signals measuring profitability, leverage, and operating efficiency. Null when no prior quarter available for delta signals.
- Altman Z'-Score (Float): Private-firm bankruptcy risk variant with zone classification (safe/grey/distress). Null for financial firms (SIC 6000-6999).
- Beneish Coverage (0-8): Count of computable M-Score components. Full M-Score is computed transiently during enrichment but not retained.
- Graham Metrics: Graham Number, NCAV/share, tangible book value/share, net working capital/share, defensive score (0-5).
- Quality Signals: Cash conversion ratio, accrual ratio, free cash flow margin.
- Composite Quality Score: Z-score normalized average of key quality signals within each quarter cross-section.
Target Columns
19 forward-looking prediction targets using same-quarter year-over-year comparisons:
1-Year Targets
- Growth rates (6): BVPS, equity, earnings, revenue, OCF, FCF growth
- Level/delta (2): Forward ROE, margin expansion
- Binary (4): ROA improved, fundamentals improved (≥3 of 5 metrics), value created (equity grew AND ROE>0), survived
2-Year Targets
- Growth rates (6): Same metrics as 1-year, over 2-year horizon
- Binary (1): Survived 2 years
All targets are null when forward quarter data is unavailable.
Rank-Transformed Targets (14 columns)
Cross-sectional percentile ranks (0-1] for all Float64 targets, computed per quarter
using rank("average") / count(). Raw growth targets are extremely skewed
(mean ~3.1, median ~0.03) and produce negative information coefficients for
regression models. Rank-transforming yields IC ~0.37.
Dataset Creation
Source Data
All data sourced exclusively from SEC EDGAR Financial Statement Data Sets (FSDS), 2009-present. No market data providers. No third-party data. No equity pricing data.
Pipeline
- Ingest: Download quarterly SEC FSDS ZIP files from EDGAR
- Parse: Extract XBRL financial data, normalize 32 tags to standard fields
- Enrich: Compute derived ratios (8), scoring models (5), and QA flags
- Label: Generate 19 forward-looking prediction targets
- Split: Temporal train/validation/test/recent splits with leakage validation
- Evaluate: Quality checks, ML fitness, and publication readiness
- Publish: Stage and upload to Hugging Face Hub
Considerations
Known Limitations
- XBRL coverage varies: some companies report fewer standardized tags
- F-Score delta components require prior quarter data (null for first appearance)
- Z'-Score was designed for manufacturing firms; interpretation varies by sector
- No market data: cannot compute price-based metrics (P/E, market cap, etc.)
Bias Considerations
- No survivorship bias: Uses only SEC filing data, not equity market prices
- Temporal integrity: Strict time-based splits prevent data leakage
- Sector bias: Z'-Score thresholds may not be equally applicable across all sectors
- Financial firms excluded from Z'-Score: Financial companies (SIC 6000-6999) have null Z'-Score values
