Smart Money Signals — IQQQ

Based on 60 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

60 hedge funds hold IQQQ right now — the highest count in 2.2 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 — +67% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+24 new funds entered over the past year (+67% 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.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 52% buying

31 buying29 selling

Last quarter: 31 funds bought or added vs 29 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 10 → 17 → 11. 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.

🔄

Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year

■ 3% conviction (2yr+) ■ 50% medium ■ 47% new

Only 2 funds (3%) 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

9 → 11 → 10 → 17 → 11 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 10 → 17 → 11. A growing number of institutions are discovering IQQQ each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🌱

Early stage — 63% of holders entered in last year

■ 0% veterans ■ 37% 1-2yr ■ 63% new

Of 60 current holders: 38 (63%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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 — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds

11 of 59 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in IQQQ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

5.1

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 5.1/10 — 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.
