Smart Money Signals — GNW

Based on 365 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GNW 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
365 hedge funds hold GNW 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 — +6% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+20 new funds entered over the past year (+6% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

164 buying189 selling
Last quarter: 189 funds reduced or exited vs 164 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~55 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 41 → 48 → 52 → 55. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 16% medium ■ 15% new
250 out of 365 hedge funds have held GNW 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

42 → 41 → 48 → 52 → 55 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 41 → 48 → 52 → 55. A growing number of institutions are discovering GNW each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 73% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 372 holders: 270 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 29 entered 1–2 years ago, and 73 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
