Smart Money Signals — AIP

Based on 153 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added AIP than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

153 hedge funds hold AIP right now — the highest count in 3.0 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.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +47% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+49 new funds entered over the past year (+47% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 65% buying

104 buying56 selling

Last quarter: 104 funds were net buyers (30 opened a brand new position + 74 added to an existing one). Only 56 were sellers (40 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 35 → 20 → 37 → 30. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

📌

Mixed — 39% long-term, 37% new

■ 39% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 37% new

Of the 153 current holders: 60 (39%) held >2 years, 37 held 1–2 years, and 56 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

18 → 35 → 20 → 37 → 30 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 20 → 37 → 30. A growing number of institutions are discovering AIP each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 45% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 45% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 43% new

Of 160 current holders: 72 (45%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

✅

Strong quality — 28% AUM from major funds

28% from top-100 AUM funds

38 of 153 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

4.4

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
