📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SNEX positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
342 hedge funds hold SNEX 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
+70 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 — 51% buying
173 buying167 selling
Last quarter: 173 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 61 → 59 → 60 → 53. 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.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 28% medium
■ 25% new

➡️
Steady discovery — ~53 new funds/quarter
55 → 61 → 59 → 60 → 53 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 61 → 59 → 60 → 53. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 52% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 52% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Of 346 current holders: 179 (52%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 342 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in SNEX. 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.
