Smart Money Signals — GSEP

Based on 112 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their GSEP positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 88% of 3.0Y peak

88% of all-time peak
112 funds currently hold this stock — 88% of the 3.0-year high of 127 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +44% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+34 new funds entered over the past year (+44% 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.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying

40 buying64 selling
Last quarter: 64 funds sold vs only 40 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GSEP position: 31 → 45 → 11 → 19. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 31% long-term, 31% new

31% conviction (2yr+) 38% medium 31% new
Of the 112 current holders: 35 (31%) held >2 years, 42 held 1–2 years, and 35 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

13 → 31 → 45 → 11 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 31 → 45 → 11 → 19. GSEP is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 33% veterans, 45% new entrants

33% veterans 22% 1-2yr 45% new
Of 112 current holders: 37 (33%) held 2+ years, 25 held 1–2 years, 50 (45%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 16% AUM from top-100

16% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 112 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 16% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
