Smart Money Signals — GOVT

Based on 922 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GOVT 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
922 hedge funds hold GOVT 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 — +20% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+152 new funds entered over the past year (+20% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 70% buying

631 buying276 selling
Last quarter: 631 funds were net buyers (179 opened a brand new position + 452 added to an existing one). Only 276 were sellers (198 trimmed + 78 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+59 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GOVT position: 63 → 85 → 120 → 179. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

55% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 55% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 22% new
505 out of 922 hedge funds have held GOVT 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.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

83 → 63 → 85 → 120 → 179 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 63 → 85 → 120 → 179. 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 — 60% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 60% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 923 holders: 553 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 144 entered 1–2 years ago, and 226 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 61% AUM from top-100 funds

61% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 920 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 61% of total institutional value in GOVT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
