Smart Money Signals — FTCA

Based on 75 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FTCA 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

75 hedge funds hold FTCA 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 — +7400% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+74 new funds entered over the past year (+7400% 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.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 74% buying

49 buying17 selling

Last quarter: 49 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 17 were sellers (11 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-40 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 0 → 60 → 20. 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.

🔄

Mostly new holders — 99% entered in last year

■ 1% conviction (2yr+) ■ 0% medium ■ 99% new

Only 1 funds (1%) 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 — ~20 new funds/quarter

0 → 0 → 0 → 60 → 20 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 60 → 20. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

🌱

Early stage — 99% of holders entered in last year

■ 1% veterans ■ 0% 1-2yr ■ 99% new

Of 75 current holders: 74 (99%) entered in the past year, only 1 (1%) 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 — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds

16 of 75 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in FTCA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

7.5

out of 10

High Exit Risk

Exit risk score 7.5/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
