📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added TNK 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
213 hedge funds hold TNK 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
+25 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
111 buying101 selling
Last quarter: 111 funds bought or added vs 101 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+16 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TNK position: 42 → 34 → 24 → 40. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 30% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 67% medium
■ 30% new
Only 7 funds (3%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
172 → 42 → 34 → 24 → 40 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 42 → 34 → 24 → 40. TNK is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 90% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 90% new
Of 220 current holders: 199 (90%) entered in the past year, only 10 (5%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 47% AUM from top-100 funds
47% from top-100 AUM funds
32 of 213 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 47% of total institutional value in TNK. 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.
