Based on 140 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VCEB 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

140 hedge funds hold VCEB 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 — +40% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+40 new funds entered over the past year (+40% 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 — 72% buying

89 buying34 selling

Last quarter: 89 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 67 added to an existing one). Only 34 were sellers (24 trimmed + 10 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new VCEB position: 15 → 24 → 14 → 22. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

40% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 40% conviction (2yr+) ■ 29% medium ■ 31% new

56 out of 140 hedge funds have held VCEB 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.

➡️

Steady discovery — ~22 new funds/quarter

12 → 15 → 24 → 14 → 22 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 24 → 14 → 22. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

📊

Mixed cohorts — 39% veterans, 41% new entrants

■ 39% veterans ■ 21% 1-2yr ■ 41% new

Of 140 current holders: 54 (39%) held 2+ years, 29 held 1–2 years, 57 (41%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

✅

Strong quality — 37% AUM from major funds

37% from top-100 AUM funds

16 of 140 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 37% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
