Based on 49 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 3Q

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

49 hedge funds hold ACII right now — the highest count in 1.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 76% buying

42 buying13 selling

Last quarter: 42 funds were net buyers (27 opened a brand new position + 15 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (5 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new ACII position: 10 → 20 → 27. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔄

■ 0% conviction (2yr+) ■ 2% medium ■ 98% new

Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

10 → 20 → 27 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 20 → 27. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🌱

Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year

■ 0% veterans ■ 0% 1-2yr ■ 100% new

Of 49 current holders: 49 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 1% AUM from top-100

1% from top-100 AUM funds

2 of 49 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 1% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

7.4

out of 10

High Exit Risk

Exit risk score 7.4/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
