Investors are rarely ever at a loss for important data releases on Wall Street. Earnings season provides an onslaught of operating results for many of America’s most-important businesses, while economic data releases occur on an almost everyday basis from Monday through Friday. But every so often, one of these meaningful data dumps can slip through the cracks. For instance, Aug. 14 marked the deadline for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management to file Form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission — and there’s a chance you missed it.

Image source: Getty Images I’m looking to top up my Stocks and Shares ISA and NatWest Group‘s (LSE: NWG) riding high on my shopping list. The NatWest share price has more than doubled over the last 12 months, rising 105.19%. Across the FTSE 100, only Rolls-Royce has done better over the period, climbing 149.11%.
