📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
287 hedge funds hold ARKG 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 — +34% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+73 new funds entered over the past year (+34% 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 — 66% buying
159 buying82 selling
Last quarter: 159 funds were net buyers (89 opened a brand new position + 70 added to an existing one). Only 82 were sellers (54 trimmed + 28 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

■ 53% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 28% new

💰
Value +162% but shares only +66% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +162%, but actual share count only changed +66%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
36 → 47 → 60 → 33 → 89 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 47 → 60 → 33 → 89. A growing number of institutions are discovering ARKG each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 27% newcomers
■ 64% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 27% new
Entry-cohort mix of 301 holders: 192 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 27 entered 1–2 years ago, and 82 (27%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 77% AUM from top-100 funds
77% from top-100 AUM funds
23 of 275 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 77% 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 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
