Based on 41 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
41 hedge funds hold FSEC 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +215% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+28 new funds entered over the past year (+215% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
28 buying21 selling
Last quarter: 28 funds bought or added vs 21 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 — ~12 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 18 → 17 → 12. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 61% entered in last year
■ 17% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 61% new
Only 7 funds (17%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~12 new funds/quarter
6 → 11 → 18 → 17 → 12 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 18 → 17 → 12. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 76% of holders entered in last year
■ 22% veterans
■ 2% 1-2yr
■ 76% new
Of 41 current holders: 31 (76%) entered in the past year, only 9 (22%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 100% AUM from top-100 funds
100% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 41 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 100% of total institutional value in FSEC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
