Smart Money Signals — MLI

Based on 717 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MLI 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
717 hedge funds hold MLI 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 — +36% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+191 new funds entered over the past year (+36% 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 — 58% buying

414 buying298 selling
Last quarter: 414 funds bought or added vs 298 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~125 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 88 → 133 → 129 → 125. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 30% new
332 out of 717 hedge funds have held MLI 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

79 → 88 → 133 → 129 → 125 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 88 → 133 → 129 → 125. A growing number of institutions are discovering MLI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 51% veterans vs 34% newcomers

■ 51% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 34% new
Entry-cohort mix of 728 holders: 370 (51%) are 2+ year veterans, 111 entered 1–2 years ago, and 247 (34%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 57% AUM from top-100 funds

57% from top-100 AUM funds
58 of 716 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 57% of total institutional value in MLI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
