Stocks with the most new positions
The securities that the most tracked managers opened a brand-new stake in last quarter, ranked by the number of funds initiating a position — a read on where fresh institutional interest is clustering, often around spin-offs, IPOs and emerging themes. The dollar figure is the total capital deployed into those new stakes.
Count of distinct managers reporting a brand-new position (absent from their prior 13F, present in their latest), keyed on CUSIP; dollar figure is the aggregate value of those new stakes. Restricted to managers with a prior filing on record. Long U.S.-listed equity, up to a 45-day reporting lag.
About this ranking
What counts as a “new position”?
A security that a manager did not hold in their prior 13F but reports in their latest one. We count how many distinct tracked managers opened such a position in each stock last quarter.
Why do spin-offs and IPOs top this list?
When a company is newly spun off, IPO’d, or added to major indices, many managers initiate a position in the same quarter — so it registers as a brand-new holding across a lot of funds at once.
How is this different from “most bought”?
“Most bought” ranks by total dollars added (and includes managers increasing existing stakes); this ranks by how many managers opened a position for the first time — breadth of fresh interest rather than dollar size.
