Description
(AWP Alliance News) - Diversification, risk management and adapting to changing correlations are key priorities for hedge funds in 2026, rather than maintaining exposure to the strongest-performing asset classes. Trend-following CTAs, selected global macro strategies and certain quantitative strategies benefited from market moves, while technology-focused equity long/short funds struggled.
The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index fell 1.2% in October. The Nasdaq 100 declined 6.6% that month; the Semiconductor Index (SOX) dropped 15.4%.
A technology-led selloff on November 5 inflicted notable losses on equity long/short funds exposed to technology and AI-linked stocks, reflecting repricing of growth and profitability expectations rather than structural concerns about AI.
