Smart Money Signals — VXUS

Based on 1846 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 VXUS 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

1,846 hedge funds hold VXUS 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 — +34% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+465 new funds entered over the past year (+34% 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 — 66% buying

1099 buying564 selling

Last quarter: 1,099 funds were net buyers (230 opened a brand new position + 869 added to an existing one). Only 564 were sellers (468 trimmed + 96 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new VXUS position: 150 → 256 → 216 → 230. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

51% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 51% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 25% new

➡️

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 31% newcomers

Entry-cohort mix of 1,854 holders: 1,022 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 257 entered 1–2 years ago, and 575 (31%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

✅

Strong quality — 30% AUM from major funds

4.0

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.0/10 — 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.
