Smart Money Signals — KAPR

Based on 97 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added KAPR 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 (97% of max)

97% of all-time peak
97 hedge funds hold KAPR 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 KAPR is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying

27 buying50 selling
Last quarter: 50 funds sold vs only 27 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~12 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 10 → 12 → 12. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

52% of holders stayed for 2+ years

52% conviction (2yr+) 30% medium 19% new

➡️

Steady discovery — ~12 new funds/quarter

8 → 16 → 10 → 12 → 12 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 10 → 12 → 12. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 24% newcomers

55% veterans 22% 1-2yr 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 97 holders: 53 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 21 entered 1–2 years ago, and 23 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100

4% from top-100 AUM funds

4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
