Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IVVM 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
31 hedge funds hold IVVM right now — the highest count in 2.8 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 — +121% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+17 new funds entered over the past year (+121% 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 — 72% buying
18 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 10 added to an existing one). Only 7 were sellers (6 trimmed + 1 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 8 → 6 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 55% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 42% medium
■ 55% new
Only 1 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
2 → 5 → 8 → 6 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 8 → 6 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 65% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 65% new
Of 31 current holders: 20 (65%) entered in the past year, only 2 (6%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 32% AUM from major funds
32% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 31 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 32% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
