📉

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

62 → 31 → 22 → 18 → 23 new funds/Q

59% veterans 14% 1-2yr 27% new

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.
