Smart Money Signals — QYLD

Based on 438 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QYLD 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

438 hedge funds hold QYLD 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 QYLD is almost the same as a year ago (+9 funds, +2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

234 buying190 selling

Last quarter: 234 funds bought or added vs 190 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.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 37 → 56 → 64 → 52. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

🔒

55% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 55% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 20% new

243 out of 438 hedge funds have held QYLD 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 +14%, value -7%

Value

-7%

+13%

Last quarter: funds added +14% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -7%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

63 → 37 → 56 → 64 → 52 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 37 → 56 → 64 → 52. A growing number of institutions are discovering QYLD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 24% newcomers

■ 58% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 24% new

Entry-cohort mix of 443 holders: 257 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 78 entered 1–2 years ago, and 108 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 41% AUM from top-100 funds

41% from top-100 AUM funds

24 of 435 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 41% of total institutional value in QYLD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.6

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
