📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added GPMT 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 65% of 3.0Y high
65% of all-time peak
Only 90 funds hold GPMT today versus a peak of 139 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 65% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
28 fewer hedge funds hold GPMT compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
39 buying51 selling
Last quarter: 51 funds reduced or exited vs 39 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 — ~14 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 24 → 9 → 14. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
67% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 18% medium
■ 16% new
60 out of 90 hedge funds have held GPMT 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +11%, value -11%
Last quarter: funds added +11% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
13 → 16 → 24 → 9 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 24 → 9 → 14. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 76% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 76% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Of 91 current holders: 69 (76%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds
23% from top-100 AUM funds
22 of 90 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
