No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.

At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
131 hedge funds hold XLSR 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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
88 buying46 selling
Last quarter: 88 funds were net buyers (17 opened a brand new position + 71 added to an existing one). Only 46 were sellers (29 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-8 vs last Q)
