📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their AJG positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

93% of all-time peak
1,202 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 1,288 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📈
More new buyers each quarter (+41 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

■ 19% medium

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -13%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -13%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
187 → 173 → 145 → 107 → 148 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 173 → 145 → 107 → 148. AJG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 1,232 current holders: 826 (67%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 69% AUM from top-100 funds
69% from top-100 AUM funds
47 of 1202 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 69% of total institutional value in AJG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
