📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WSML 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
13 hedge funds hold WSML right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
5 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds reduced or exited vs 5 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 — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 4 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 69% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 31% medium
■ 69% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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 +80%, value +60%
Last quarter: funds added +80% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +60%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~4 new funds/quarter
2 → 4 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 4 → 4. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 13 current holders: 13 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 55% AUM from top-100 funds
55% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 13 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 55% of total institutional value in WSML. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.8/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
