📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KRC 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
349 hedge funds hold KRC 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.
📶
Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
197 buying160 selling
Last quarter: 197 funds bought or added vs 160 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +5%, value -94%
Last quarter: funds added +5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -94%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

■ 63% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 355 current holders: 222 (63%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds
49% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 349 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in KRC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
