Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VINP 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 (98% of max)
98% of all-time peak
43 hedge funds hold VINP 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 — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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 — 62% buying
24 buying15 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 15 added to an existing one). Only 15 were sellers (11 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 28% medium
■ 23% new

💰
Value +23% but shares only +3% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +23%, but actual share count only changed +3%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️

3 → 5 → 6 → 8 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 6 → 8 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 60% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 28% new

Smaller funds dominant — 17% AUM from top-100
17% from top-100 AUM funds
