📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ICLO 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
76 hedge funds hold ICLO 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 — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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 — 66% buying
54 buying28 selling
Last quarter: 54 funds were net buyers (20 opened a brand new position + 34 added to an existing one). Only 28 were sellers (19 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ICLO position: 27 → 8 → 14 → 20. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 46% entered in last year
■ 11% conviction (2yr+)
■ 43% medium
■ 46% new
Only 8 funds (11%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~20 new funds/quarter
13 → 27 → 8 → 14 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 8 → 14 → 20. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 74% of holders entered in last year
■ 8% veterans
■ 18% 1-2yr
■ 74% new
Of 76 current holders: 56 (74%) entered in the past year, only 6 (8%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds
52% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 76 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in ICLO. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.9/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
