🏔️

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak

315 hedge funds hold VC 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 — +18% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+47 new funds entered over the past year (+18% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction. The peak was reached in just 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

183 buying152 selling

Last quarter: 183 funds bought or added vs 152 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 — ~52 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

🔒

59% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 59% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 19% new

185 out of 315 hedge funds have held VC 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

55 → 61 → 77 → 53 → 52 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 61 → 77 → 53 → 52. VC is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 68% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 68% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 23% new

Of 318 current holders: 217 (68%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

🏆

Elite ownership — 54% AUM from top-100 funds

54% from top-100 AUM funds

52 of 315 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 54% of total institutional value in VC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.5

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
