📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ISD 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 (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
69 hedge funds hold ISD 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.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding ISD is almost the same as a year ago (+2 funds, +3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
29 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 35 funds reduced or exited vs 29 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new ISD position: 6 → 7 → 5 → 13. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
61% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 20% new
42 out of 69 hedge funds have held ISD 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 -4%, value -35%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -35%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
12 → 6 → 7 → 5 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 7 → 5 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering ISD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 62% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 62% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 22% new
Of 69 current holders: 43 (62%) 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 — 38% AUM from major funds
38% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 69 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
