📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CLOV positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
178 hedge funds hold CLOV 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 — +5% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 51% buying
94 buying91 selling
Last quarter: 94 funds bought or added vs 91 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~31 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 52 → 49 → 29 → 31. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
52% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 52% conviction (2yr+)
■ 28% medium
■ 20% new
93 out of 178 hedge funds have held CLOV 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 -7%, value -28%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -28%. 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
37 → 52 → 49 → 29 → 31 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 49 → 29 → 31. CLOV is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Of 191 current holders: 128 (67%) 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 — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 178 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in CLOV. 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 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
