Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ARKG 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +59%, value -30%

🏆
Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds
45% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 234 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in ARKG. 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 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
