I am interested in top 10 holdings of Mutual Funds. SEC Edgar Database has reports since 2006. Any idea where on the internet I can get top holdings, for Fidelity Growth Company, Fidelity Contrafund, Primecap Growth Fund for the 1999 to 2006 era? I know CSRP has it but looking for public resource that's easily available. Thank you in advance.
Thank you Mark. Can you please post for everyone's benefit the steps you took to pull up this page. I still don't know how to pull up the data you seem to have found. I am missing 1999 to 2006 dates.
Yes it works for FCNTX. Have you been able to make it work for Fidelity Growth Company, Neuberger Berman Large Cap Value Fund (I think was previously called Partners Fund) and Primecap Odyssey funds for the older dates?
This is the basic link that I played around. Difference was that Fidelity Contra pulled up on "Company" search while Fidelity Growth pulled up only by "Mutual Fund" search. https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html
There are two different difficulties with FDGRX. One is that if you go back early enough (2006 seems about "right"), the annual reports are only found under the trust (of which FDGRX is a series), and not under the fund itself. Possibly because the filings for the trust aren't sorted by series (fund).
and type in FDGRX (right side box), you see a link for the entire trust (Mt Vernon Street), and a link for Fidelity Growth Company Fund. Follow that second link and you'll get just the docs for FDGRX and not for other funds in the trust. But only back to 2006.
Another problem one has to watch out for is when a fund is moved from one trust to another. Possibly one searches for fund name (not ticker) and finds the fund listed under two different trusts. Not going to look for an oddball case to test now.

For example, from FCNTX's Dec 1999 Annual Report

If you start with the mutual fund search page:
https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/mutualsearch.html
and type in FDGRX (right side box), you see a link for the entire trust (Mt Vernon Street), and a link for Fidelity Growth Company Fund. Follow that second link and you'll get just the docs for FDGRX and not for other funds in the trust. But only back to 2006.

So you need to get all the docs for the trust. Follow the first link for the trust (click on the trust name, not the number to get the "classic" Edgar version). Then click on the number of the trust (0000707823) on the resulting page to get to the classic version of the trust's docs.

If you do a search on shareholder reports (N-CSR), you'll get (semi)annual reports back to 2003. Better. but not quite there.

This shows the second problem. Annual reports can be filed as N-CSR's or as N-30Ds. Search on Form N-30D.
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0000707823&type=N-30D&dateb=&count=40&scd=filings&search_text=
That gets you filings between 1995 and 2003. Bingo!
Here's the oldest annual report (dated Nov 1994):
