nport conviction-fund forced flow
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.

Stocks held by the same group of funds tend to move together, so when a stock's peer group rallies but it lags behind, the strategy buys it expecting it to catch up.
Stocks held by the same big mutual funds co-move beyond fundamentals. We trade the dislocation when one moves and the other has not caught up.
