Based on 75 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

93% of all-time peak

📉

Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

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.
