📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SMIG 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
54 hedge funds hold SMIG 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 — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+11 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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 — 55% buying
31 buying25 selling
Last quarter: 31 funds bought or added vs 25 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.

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SMIG position: 8 → 10 → 6 → 16. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

83% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 54 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 83% of total institutional value in SMIG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
