📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MCRI 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
254 hedge funds hold MCRI 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.
📶
Steady growth — +20% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+43 new funds entered over the past year (+20% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 55% buying
144 buying119 selling
Last quarter: 144 funds bought or added vs 119 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)

■ 58% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 22% new
148 out of 254 hedge funds have held MCRI for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +48% but shares only +26% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +48%, but actual share count only changed +26%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
26 → 40 → 24 → 39 → 51 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 24 → 39 → 51. A growing number of institutions are discovering MCRI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 26% newcomers
■ 63% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 257 holders: 161 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 30 entered 1–2 years ago, and 66 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 65% AUM from top-100 funds
65% from top-100 AUM funds
53 of 252 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 65% of total institutional value in MCRI. 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 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
