Smart Money Signals — EMF

Based on 64 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added EMF 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
64 hedge funds hold EMF 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.
📶

Steady growth — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

33 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 33 funds were net buyers (13 opened a brand new position + 20 added to an existing one). Only 22 were sellers (17 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new EMF position: 8 → 6 → 7 → 13. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

67% of holders stayed for 2+ years

67% conviction (2yr+) 12% medium 20% new
43 out of 64 hedge funds have held EMF for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰

Value +34% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value
+34%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +34%, but actual share count only changed +1%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

5 → 8 → 6 → 7 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 6 → 7 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering EMF each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 25% newcomers

69% veterans 6% 1-2yr 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 64 holders: 44 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 16 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 6% AUM from top-100

6% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 63 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
