Smart Money Signals — UNTY

Based on 138 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added UNTY 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
138 hedge funds hold UNTY 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

86 buying54 selling
Last quarter: 86 funds were net buyers (23 opened a brand new position + 63 added to an existing one). Only 54 were sellers (38 trimmed + 16 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new UNTY position: 27 → 20 → 13 → 23. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

40% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 40% conviction (2yr+) ■ 36% medium ■ 24% new
55 out of 138 hedge funds have held UNTY 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

17 → 27 → 20 → 13 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 20 → 13 → 23. UNTY 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 — 49% veterans vs 33% newcomers

■ 49% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 138 holders: 67 (49%) are 2+ year veterans, 25 entered 1–2 years ago, and 46 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 58% AUM from top-100 funds

58% from top-100 AUM funds

3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
