Smart Money Signals — FDN

Based on 550 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their FDN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 93% of 3.0Y peak

93% of all-time peak
550 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 593 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding FDN is almost the same as a year ago (+5 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying

169 buying314 selling
Last quarter: 314 funds sold vs only 169 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-35 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 88 → 40 → 88 → 53. 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.
🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

66% conviction (2yr+) 19% medium 15% new
362 out of 550 hedge funds have held FDN 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

58 → 88 → 40 → 88 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 88 → 40 → 88 → 53. A growing number of institutions are discovering FDN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 66% of holders stayed 2+ years

66% veterans 15% 1-2yr 19% new
Of 555 current holders: 366 (66%) 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.
🏆

61% from top-100 AUM funds
29 of 550 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in FDN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.8
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.
