Smart Money Signals — VSEC

Based on 378 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added VSEC 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
378 hedge funds hold VSEC 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 — +64% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+148 new funds entered over the past year (+64% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

225 buying171 selling
Last quarter: 225 funds bought or added vs 171 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-34 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 43 → 53 → 110 → 76. 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.
📌

Mixed — 35% long-term, 41% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 41% new
Of the 378 current holders: 131 (35%) held >2 years, 91 held 1–2 years, and 156 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

55 → 43 → 53 → 110 → 76 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 43 → 53 → 110 → 76. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 37% veterans, 48% new entrants

■ 37% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 48% new
Of 386 current holders: 143 (37%) held 2+ years, 58 held 1–2 years, 185 (48%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds

57% from top-100 AUM funds
59 of 376 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in VSEC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
5.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — 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.
