📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their WLAC 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 — 93% of 3.0Y peak
93% of all-time peak
39 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 42 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +26% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+26% 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 sellers than buyers — 48% buying
23 buying25 selling
Last quarter: 25 funds reduced or exited vs 23 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 — ~10 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 20 → 14 → 10. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 59% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 59% new
Only 1 funds (3%) 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 (+5879% value, -2% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional WLAC holdings rose +5879% 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
25 → 10 → 20 → 14 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 20 → 14 → 10. WLAC is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 2% veterans
■ 2% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 45 current holders: 43 (96%) entered in the past year, only 1 (2%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 99% AUM from top-100 funds
99% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 38 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 99% of total institutional value in WLAC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
