Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added ICVT 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
406 hedge funds hold ICVT 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.
