Smart Money Signals — VCIT

Based on 1368 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VCIT positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
1,368 hedge funds hold VCIT 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 — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+192 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

803 buying515 selling
Last quarter: 803 funds were net buyers (115 opened a brand new position + 688 added to an existing one). Only 515 were sellers (399 trimmed + 116 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-58 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 127 → 207 → 173 → 115. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

61% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 19% new
839 out of 1,368 hedge funds have held VCIT 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 — ~115 new funds/quarter

111 → 127 → 207 → 173 → 115 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 127 → 207 → 173 → 115. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 64% veterans vs 22% newcomers

■ 64% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 22% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,372 holders: 878 (64%) are 2+ year veterans, 190 entered 1–2 years ago, and 304 (22%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

70% from top-100 AUM funds

3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
