Stocks hedge funds are buying most
The securities that tracked managers added the most capital to last quarter, ranked by aggregate net dollars bought — new positions at their full reported value plus increases to existing stakes — across each manager’s most recent 13F. The fund count shows how broad the buying was.
Aggregate dollars added (new + increased positions) across each tracked manager’s most recent 13F, keyed on CUSIP. New positions count for managers with a prior filing on record. Long U.S.-listed equity, up to a 45-day 13F reporting lag; filing periods can differ by manager.
About this ranking
What does “most bought” mean here?
For each stock we sum the dollar value that tracked managers added last quarter — counting brand-new positions at their full reported value and increases to existing positions at the value of the increase — then rank by that total. It measures gross buying, not net of any sellers.
Is heavy buying a bullish signal?
It shows where tracked “smart money” put fresh capital to work, which can reflect conviction — but 13F data lags up to 45 days and shows only long U.S.-listed equity, so treat it as a directional read rather than a real-time signal.
Why might a stock appear on both the most-bought and most-sold lists?
Different managers trade in opposite directions. A widely-traded name can see large dollars added by some funds and large dollars trimmed or exited by others in the same quarter.
