📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IVR 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
175 hedge funds hold IVR 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+30 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
105 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 105 funds bought or added vs 72 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 26 → 30 → 44 → 33. 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.
🔒

■ 61% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 19% new

📈
Growing discovery — still being found
24 → 26 → 30 → 44 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 30 → 44 → 33. A growing number of institutions are discovering IVR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 19% newcomers
■ 71% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 182 holders: 129 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 18 entered 1–2 years ago, and 35 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 172 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
