📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their MACI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
36 hedge funds hold MACI 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 — +9% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+9% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
8 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds sold vs only 8 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 6 → 4 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 28% entered in last year
■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 67% medium
■ 28% new
Only 2 funds (6%) 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -4%, value -94%
Last quarter: funds added -4% 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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
7 → 7 → 6 → 4 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 4 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 6% veterans, 53% new entrants
■ 6% veterans
■ 42% 1-2yr
■ 53% new
Of 36 current holders: 2 (6%) held 2+ years, 15 held 1–2 years, 19 (53%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
