📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GLRE 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
135 hedge funds hold GLRE 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.
📶
Steady growth — +10% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+10% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
75 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 75 funds were net buyers (24 opened a brand new position + 51 added to an existing one). Only 49 were sellers (35 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 64% conviction (2yr+)
■ 13% medium
■ 24% new

💰
Value +20% but shares only +2% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +20%, but actual share count only changed +2%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
13 → 11 → 17 → 25 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 17 → 25 → 24. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 65% veterans vs 23% newcomers
■ 65% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 136 holders: 89 (65%) are 2+ year veterans, 16 entered 1–2 years ago, and 31 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 48% AUM from top-100 funds
48% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 135 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 48% of total institutional value in GLRE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
