Smart Money Signals — FCTR

Based on 24 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their FCTR 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 47% of 3.0Y high

47% of all-time peak
Only 24 funds hold FCTR today versus a peak of 51 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 47% 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 — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold FCTR compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying

9 buying17 selling
Last quarter: 17 funds sold vs only 9 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 3 → 3 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

75% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 75% conviction (2yr+) ■ 21% medium ■ 4% new
18 out of 24 hedge funds have held FCTR 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

1 → 5 → 3 → 3 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 3 → 3 → 3. FCTR is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 79% veterans vs 4% newcomers

■ 79% veterans ■ 17% 1-2yr ■ 4% new
Entry-cohort mix of 24 holders: 19 (79%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (4%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

20% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 24 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 20% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
1.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — 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.
