📈
Buying streak — 8 quarters in a row
For 8 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PSLV 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
466 hedge funds hold PSLV 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +31% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+110 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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 — 58% buying
234 buying167 selling
Last quarter: 234 funds bought or added vs 167 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 (+45 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PSLV position: 40 → 42 → 51 → 96. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
53% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 53% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 25% new
248 out of 466 hedge funds have held PSLV for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -87%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -87%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
61 → 40 → 42 → 51 → 96 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 42 → 51 → 96. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 468 current holders: 258 (55%) 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.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
