Smart Money Signals — NWLI

Based on 128 hedge funds · latest filing: 2024 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
128 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +38% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+35 new funds entered over the past year (+38% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 52% buying

63 buying58 selling
Last quarter: 63 funds bought or added vs 58 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 47 → 16 → 28. A growing number of new institutional buyers means the stock is still being discovered — the opportunity hasn't been fully priced in.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

13 → 10 → 47 → 16 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 47 → 16 → 28. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.
3.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
