📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added UTG 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
264 hedge funds hold UTG 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+46 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
147 buying71 selling
Last quarter: 147 funds were net buyers (42 opened a brand new position + 105 added to an existing one). Only 71 were sellers (54 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new UTG position: 33 → 30 → 31 → 42. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
50% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 50% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 22% new
133 out of 264 hedge funds have held UTG 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+10% value, -87% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional UTG holdings rose +10% even though funds reduced share count by 87%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
34 → 33 → 30 → 31 → 42 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 33 → 30 → 31 → 42. A growing number of institutions are discovering UTG each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 29% newcomers
■ 55% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 264 holders: 146 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 42 entered 1–2 years ago, and 76 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 263 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in UTG. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
