Based on 962 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 4 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

962 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.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+200 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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 — 67% buying

640 buying312 selling

Last quarter: 640 funds were net buyers (120 opened a brand new position + 520 added to an existing one). Only 312 were sellers (231 trimmed + 81 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-60 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 85 → 121 → 180 → 120. 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.

🔒

55% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 55% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 24% new

530 out of 962 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

64 → 85 → 121 → 180 → 120 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 85 → 121 → 180 → 120. A growing number of institutions are discovering GOVT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 59% veterans vs 25% newcomers

■ 59% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 25% new

Entry-cohort mix of 962 holders: 565 (59%) are 2+ year veterans, 152 entered 1–2 years ago, and 245 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 70% AUM from top-100 funds

70% from top-100 AUM funds

35 of 958 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 70% 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.

4.0

out of 10

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.

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.
