For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BNZIW positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 54% of 3.0Y high
54% of all-time peak
Only 21 funds hold BNZIW today versus a peak of 39 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 54% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
