In plain terms

The strategy watches focused, high-conviction funds for the stocks they are newly buying or adding to, then buys those names too.

How it works

Mutual-fund flows force managers to trade, and flow-driven initiations and accumulations predict returns because the buying pressure is non-fundamental and only partially priced when disclosed. The family counts high-conviction (concentrated, <=40-name) N-PORT funds opening or materially raising a position in a name, lagged to the filing-public date.

Expected edge

Names that high-conviction registered funds are freshly initiating or accumulating drift higher as the non-fundamental buying pressure continues to be priced in after disclosure.
