At the ownership peak (98% of max)
98% of all-time peak
64 hedge funds hold GVIP 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
+14 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 — 61% buying
37 buying24 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 24 were sellers (15 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 7 → 14 → 8. 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.
