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.
In 2026 Q1, 22 hedge funds were net buyers of UYG (10 opened a new position, 12 added to an existing one), while 35 reduced or exited (13 trimmed, 22 sold completely) — a 39% buyer ratio, indicating net institutional distribution. Net fund flow last quarter: -12 funds (more exits than new entries). Total institutional holders: 61.
Institutional ownership data sourced from SEC EDGAR Form 13F-HR filings.
Signal Freshness measures how much UYG has moved relative to its sector benchmark (SPY) since the 2026 Q1 13F filing. A stock that has barely outrun its sector is still a relatively fresh entry point — the fund's thesis has not yet been priced in by the broader market.
UYG outperformed SPY by +3.9% since March 31, 2026.
Since the filing became public, UYG outperformed SPY by +10.6% .
Interpretation: The stock has meaningfully outrun its sector. The trade has partially played out; entry is at a premium to the fund's implied reference. Learn more →

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row: For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their UYG positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying: Last quarter: 35 funds sold vs only 22 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
Smaller funds dominant — 16% AUM from top-100: 10 of 61 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 16% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
64% of holders stayed for 2+ years: 39 out of 61 hedge funds have held UYG 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.
As of today, UYG has moved +9.5% since the 2026 Q1 13F filing date (May 15, 2026), compared to -1.1% for the SPY sector ETF — an outperformance of +10.6%. Since the quarter end (March 31, 2026), UYG has gained +16.3% vs +12.4% for SPY. The stock has meaningfully outrun its sector. The trade has partially played out; entry is at a premium to the fund's implied reference.
