Smart Money Signals — ARKX

Based on 127 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ARKX 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
127 hedge funds hold ARKX 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 — +81% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+57 new funds entered over the past year (+81% 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 — 70% buying

82 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 82 funds were net buyers (35 opened a brand new position + 47 added to an existing one). Only 35 were sellers (12 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~35 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 25 → 30 → 35. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 36% long-term, 39% new

36% conviction (2yr+) 25% medium 39% new
Of the 127 current holders: 46 (36%) held >2 years, 32 held 1–2 years, and 49 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +78%, value +45%

Value
+44%
Shares
+78%
Last quarter: funds added +78% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +45%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

11 → 21 → 25 → 30 → 35 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 25 → 30 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering ARKX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 47% of holders stayed 2+ years

47% veterans 8% 1-2yr 45% new
Of 131 current holders: 62 (47%) 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 — 58% AUM from top-100 funds

58% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 127 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 58% of total institutional value in ARKX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.9
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — 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.
