📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TFIN 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 (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
197 hedge funds hold TFIN 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 TFIN is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
94 buying111 selling
Last quarter: 111 funds reduced or exited vs 94 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 (+20 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TFIN position: 28 → 31 → 21 → 41. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 18% new
119 out of 197 hedge funds have held TFIN 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.
💰
Value +32% but shares only +5% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +32%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~41 new funds/quarter
19 → 28 → 31 → 21 → 41 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 28 → 31 → 21 → 41. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 205 current holders: 137 (67%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 197 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
