📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SIEB 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
53 hedge funds hold SIEB 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 — +130% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+130% 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.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
25 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 27 funds reduced or exited vs 25 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SIEB position: 27 → 7 → 3 → 14. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 28% new
25 out of 53 hedge funds have held SIEB 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 -2%, value -46%
Last quarter: funds added -2% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -46%. 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
1 → 27 → 7 → 3 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 7 → 3 → 14. 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.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 36% newcomers
■ 58% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 36% new
Entry-cohort mix of 53 holders: 31 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 3 entered 1–2 years ago, and 19 (36%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds
37% from top-100 AUM funds
24 of 53 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
