Smart Money Signals — RVT

Based on 201 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added RVT 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
201 hedge funds hold RVT 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
+23 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 63% buying

122 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 122 funds were net buyers (37 opened a brand new position + 85 added to an existing one). Only 72 were sellers (43 trimmed + 29 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new RVT position: 26 → 29 → 24 → 37. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

57% of holders stayed for 2+ years

57% conviction (2yr+) 19% medium 24% new
114 out of 201 hedge funds have held RVT 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

26 → 26 → 29 → 24 → 37 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 29 → 24 → 37. A growing number of institutions are discovering RVT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 28% newcomers

58% veterans 14% 1-2yr 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 201 holders: 116 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 28 entered 1–2 years ago, and 57 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 55% AUM from top-100 funds

55% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 200 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 55% of total institutional value in RVT. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
