Credit hedge funds face losses as junk bond selloff deepens

Hedgeweek, citing a Financial Times report, says credit hedge funds are suffering mounting losses as a prolonged selloff in high-yield debt drives down bond prices and forces some managers to unwind concentrated positions. The report states CCC-rated bond yields have climbed above 21% in Europe and 18% in the US, versus roughly 16% and 15% at the start of 2026. It names Arini Capital Management, whose flagship strategy has declined approximately 26% this year, and cites positions in Aston Martin, Altice International and Brightspeed.
