Smart Money Signals — VXUS

Based on 1710 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · 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
1,710 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 — +31% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+400 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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

1056 buying536 selling
Last quarter: 1,056 funds were net buyers (214 opened a brand new position + 842 added to an existing one). Only 536 were sellers (422 trimmed + 114 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-40 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 178 → 149 → 254 → 214. 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.
🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 53% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 23% new
898 out of 1,710 hedge funds have held VXUS 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

150 → 178 → 149 → 254 → 214 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 178 → 149 → 254 → 214. A growing number of institutions are discovering VXUS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 56% veterans vs 30% newcomers

■ 56% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 30% new
Entry-cohort mix of 1,715 holders: 966 (56%) are 2+ year veterans, 243 entered 1–2 years ago, and 506 (30%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 29% AUM from major funds

29% from top-100 AUM funds
35 of 1706 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 29% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
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.
