📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GEF/B 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
127 hedge funds hold GEF/B 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 — +35% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+33 new funds entered over the past year (+35% 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 — 66% buying
70 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 70 funds were net buyers (28 opened a brand new position + 42 added to an existing one). Only 36 were sellers (26 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter

■ 50% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 30% new
63 out of 127 hedge funds have held GEF/B 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+15% value, -0% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional GEF/B holdings rose +15% even though funds reduced share count by 0%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
8 → 22 → 16 → 16 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 16 → 16 → 28. A growing number of institutions are discovering GEF/B each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 51% veterans vs 36% newcomers
■ 51% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 127 holders: 65 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 46 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 46% AUM from top-100 funds
46% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 127 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 46% of total institutional value in GEF/B. 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 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
