📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SEI 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
361 hedge funds hold SEI 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 — +80% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+161 new funds entered over the past year (+80% 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 — 56% buying
223 buying177 selling
Last quarter: 223 funds bought or added vs 177 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 (-15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 53 → 91 → 104 → 89. 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 — 34% long-term, 43% new
■ 34% conviction (2yr+)
■ 23% medium
■ 43% new
Of the 361 current holders: 124 (34%) held >2 years, 83 held 1–2 years, and 154 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+15% value, -2% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional SEI holdings rose +15% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
55 → 53 → 91 → 104 → 89 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 53 → 91 → 104 → 89. A growing number of institutions are discovering SEI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 43% veterans vs 47% newcomers
■ 43% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 47% new
Entry-cohort mix of 376 holders: 160 (43%) are 2+ year veterans, 41 entered 1–2 years ago, and 175 (47%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 36% AUM from major funds
36% from top-100 AUM funds
50 of 355 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 36% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
