📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their RYCEF 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 — 71% of 3.0Y peak
71% of all-time peak
5 funds currently hold this stock — 71% of the 3.0-year high of 7 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 17% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold RYCEF compared to a year ago (-17% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
2 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds reduced or exited vs 2 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 3 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 40% entered in last year
■ 20% conviction (2yr+)
■ 40% medium
■ 40% new
Only 1 funds (20%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+13% value, -11% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional RYCEF holdings rose +13% even though funds reduced share count by 11%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
3 → 1 → 3 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 3 → 0 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 40% veterans vs 40% newcomers
■ 40% veterans
■ 20% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Entry-cohort mix of 5 holders: 2 (40%) are 2+ year veterans, 1 entered 1–2 years ago, and 2 (40%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
