Smart Money Signals — VXX

Based on 75 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their VXX 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 — 85% of 3.0Y peak

85% of all-time peak
75 funds currently hold this stock — 85% of the 3.0-year high of 88 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+25% 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 — 56% buying

53 buying41 selling
Last quarter: 53 funds bought or added vs 41 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~26 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 43 → 25 → 25 → 26. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 43% entered in last year

■ 8% conviction (2yr+) ■ 49% medium ■ 43% new
Only 6 funds (8%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +27%, value -22%

Value
-21%
Shares
+26%
Last quarter: funds added +27% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

17 → 43 → 25 → 25 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 43 → 25 → 25 → 26. VXX is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 0% veterans, 40% new entrants

■ 0% veterans ■ 60% 1-2yr ■ 40% new
Of 85 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 51 held 1–2 years, 34 (40%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

50% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 70 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in VXX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

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.
