Smart Money Signals — WHG

Based on 65 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WHG 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
65 hedge funds hold WHG 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 — +33% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+16 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

34 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 34 funds bought or added vs 27 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 — ~11 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 13 → 7 → 7 → 11. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

66% conviction (2yr+) 11% medium 23% new
43 out of 65 hedge funds have held WHG 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~11 new funds/quarter

4 → 13 → 7 → 7 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 13 → 7 → 7 → 11. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 66% veterans vs 26% newcomers

66% veterans 8% 1-2yr 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 65 holders: 43 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 17 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100

14% from top-100 AUM funds
20 of 65 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
3.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — 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.
