Smart Money Signals — DFAI

Based on 665 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added DFAI 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
665 hedge funds hold DFAI 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 — +28% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+147 new funds entered over the past year (+28% 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 — 70% buying

443 buying191 selling
Last quarter: 443 funds were net buyers (102 opened a brand new position + 341 added to an existing one). Only 191 were sellers (163 trimmed + 28 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+53 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

70 → 52 → 52 → 49 → 102 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 52 → 52 → 49 → 102. A growing number of institutions are discovering DFAI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 45% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 45% veterans ■ 20% 1-2yr ■ 35% new
Of 665 current holders: 300 (45%) 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.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100

14% from top-100 AUM funds

3.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
