Based on 4 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly
📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VWNFX positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 80% of 3.0Y peak
80% of all-time peak
4 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 5 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +33% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+33% 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.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
1 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 3 → 2 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 25% long-term, 50% new
■ 25% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 50% new
Of the 4 current holders: 1 (25%) held >2 years, 1 held 1–2 years, and 2 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
2 → 1 → 3 → 2 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 3 → 2 → 1. VWNFX is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 75% of holders entered in last year
■ 25% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 75% new
Of 4 current holders: 3 (75%) entered in the past year, only 1 (25%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

0% from top-100 AUM funds
