Smart Money Signals — UFEB

Based on 95 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added UFEB 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
95 hedge funds hold UFEB 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
+11 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 — 57% buying

49 buying37 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds bought or added vs 37 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 (+11 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new UFEB position: 13 → 12 → 7 → 18. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 39% long-term, 21% new

39% conviction (2yr+) 40% medium 21% new
Of the 95 current holders: 37 (39%) held >2 years, 38 held 1–2 years, and 20 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~18 new funds/quarter

36 → 13 → 12 → 7 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 12 → 7 → 18. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 41% veterans vs 44% newcomers

41% veterans 15% 1-2yr 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 95 holders: 39 (41%) are 2+ year veterans, 14 entered 1–2 years ago, and 42 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 3% AUM from top-100

3% from top-100 AUM funds

3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
