Smart Money Signals — CCEF

Based on 23 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CCEF positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 92% of 2.2Y peak

92% of all-time peak
23 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 2.2-year high of 25 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +44% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+44% 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 — 61% buying

17 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 17 funds were net buyers (6 opened a brand new position + 11 added to an existing one). Only 11 were sellers (3 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~6 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

🔄

Mostly new holders — 39% entered in last year

17% conviction (2yr+) 43% medium 39% new
Only 4 funds (17%) 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~6 new funds/quarter

5 → 2 → 3 → 9 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 3 → 9 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

0% veterans 57% 1-2yr 43% new
Of 23 current holders: 0 (0%) held 2+ years, 13 held 1–2 years, 10 (43%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

0% from top-100 AUM funds

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
