📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their LDI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
128 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 140 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +47% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+47% 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 — 53% buying
71 buying62 selling
Last quarter: 71 funds bought or added vs 62 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 (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 47 → 39 → 28 → 19. 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.
📌
Mixed — 36% long-term, 31% new
■ 36% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 31% new
Of the 128 current holders: 46 (36%) held >2 years, 42 held 1–2 years, and 40 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
30 → 47 → 39 → 28 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 47 → 39 → 28 → 19. LDI 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 — 48% veterans vs 44% newcomers
■ 48% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 44% new
Entry-cohort mix of 134 holders: 64 (48%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 59 (44%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 54% AUM from top-100 funds
54% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 128 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in LDI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
