Smart Money Signals — VOD

Based on 500 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VOD 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

500 hedge funds hold VOD 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.

〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding VOD is almost the same as a year ago (+6 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

248 buying205 selling

Last quarter: 248 funds bought or added vs 205 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+31 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new VOD position: 44 → 60 → 57 → 88. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

65% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 65% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 17% new

326 out of 500 hedge funds have held VOD 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.

💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -6%, value -62%

Value

-61%

-6%

Last quarter: funds added -6% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -62%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

76 → 44 → 60 → 57 → 88 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 44 → 60 → 57 → 88. A growing number of institutions are discovering VOD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 68% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 68% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 20% new

Of 516 current holders: 351 (68%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

🏆

Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds

45% from top-100 AUM funds

29 of 500 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in VOD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.5

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.5/10 — 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.
