The cluster is dominated by active asset managers, with Pictet's doubling (+$85.8M) being the most significant signal. The divergence between buyers and Vontobel's trim suggests mixed conviction. Monitor next quarter's 13F to see if the buying persists or if the Q3 earnings beat was fully priced in.
