APEI ranks #2890 out of 37501 tracked stocks by institutional interest — one of the most closely watched names in our coverage.

APEI is a disclosed holding of Jim Simons (Renaissance Technologies), one of the tracked superinvestors on AlphaSMO — it makes up 0.1% of that fund's own 13F portfolio.

APEI is a top-conviction position for 325 Capital LLC — at 15.2% of their entire disclosed 13F portfolio, it's one of their largest single bets, not just a passing allocation.

The largest dollar stake in APEI belongs to BlackRock, Inc., but the position matters far more to 325 Capital LLC, who has 15.2% of their own portfolio riding on it — a reminder that the biggest holder by size and the holder with the biggest bet aren't always the same fund.

Ameriprise Financial Inc has trimmed its APEI position for two straight quarters, cutting it by $7.4M while still holding $1.4M.
