Smart Money Signals — AWI

Based on 474 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AWI 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.
📊

High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak
474 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 517 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+56 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

239 buying249 selling
Last quarter: 249 funds reduced or exited vs 239 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~65 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 116 → 86 → 64 → 65. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 18% new
291 out of 474 hedge funds have held AWI for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.

Buying through price weakness — shares +20%, value -1%

Value

Shares
+20%
Last quarter: funds added +20% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -1%. 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

59 → 116 → 86 → 64 → 65 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 116 → 86 → 64 → 65. AWI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 22% newcomers

■ 65% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 479 holders: 313 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 60 entered 1–2 years ago, and 106 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

51% from top-100 AUM funds

3.1
out of 10

Exit risk score 3.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
