📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added CGEM 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
149 hedge funds hold CGEM 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.
📶
Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +4%, value -96%
Last quarter: funds added +4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -96%. 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
27 → 27 → 19 → 27 → 30 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 19 → 27 → 30. A growing number of institutions are discovering CGEM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

■ 58% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 153 current holders: 88 (58%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 24% AUM from major funds
24% from top-100 AUM funds
29 of 149 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 24% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
