Smart Money Signals — CCIF

Based on 34 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 CCIF 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 — 94% of 3.0Y peak

94% of all-time peak
34 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 36 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +42% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+42% 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 — 52% buying

17 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 17 funds bought or added vs 16 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 7 → 12 → 5. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌

Mixed — 38% long-term, 41% new

■ 38% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 41% new
Of the 34 current holders: 13 (38%) held >2 years, 7 held 1–2 years, and 14 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +7%, value -53%

Value
-53%
Shares
+7%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -53%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~5 new funds/quarter

7 → 9 → 7 → 12 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 7 → 12 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 44% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 44% veterans ■ 6% 1-2yr ■ 50% new
Of 34 current holders: 15 (44%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅

Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds

33% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 34 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — 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.
