Smart Money Signals — VXX

Based on 76 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added VXX 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.
📊

High ownership — 86% of 3.0Y peak

86% of all-time peak
76 funds currently hold this stock — 86% 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.
📶

Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 46% buying

42 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 49 funds reduced or exited vs 42 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~25 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 17 → 43 → 24 → 25. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 47% entered in last year

■ 9% conviction (2yr+) ■ 43% medium ■ 47% new
Only 7 funds (9%) 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.
💰

Value +146% but shares only +82% — price-driven

Value
+145%
Shares
+82%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +146%, but actual share count only changed +82%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

23 → 17 → 43 → 24 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 43 → 24 → 25. 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 — 2% veterans, 49% new entrants

■ 2% veterans ■ 48% 1-2yr ■ 49% new
Of 85 current holders: 2 (2%) held 2+ years, 41 held 1–2 years, 42 (49%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 77% AUM from top-100 funds

77% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 76 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 77% 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.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
