📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ASFI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 20% of 3.0Y high
20% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold ASFI today versus a peak of 15 funds at 2020 Q2 — just 20% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 67% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold ASFI compared to a year ago (-67% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 0% buying
0 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds sold vs only 0 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 1 → 7 → 0. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~0 new funds/quarter
1 → 2 → 1 → 7 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 7 → 0. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
