🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
57 hedge funds hold EMF 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.
📉

Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago

24 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds bought or added vs 22 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.

68% veterans 12% 1-2yr 19% new

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 6% AUM from top-100

6% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 57 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
3.1
out of 10

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.
