TRX Hedge funds raise short bets as momentum trade falters, Goldman report says
Hedge funds are increasing short positions and shifting toward fundamental stock selection as the technology-led momentum trade loses steam, according to a Business Insider report cited by Hedgeweek. An October Goldman Sachs prime brokerage report found hedge fund short positioning approaching a five-year high amid heightened market volatility. Bayberry Capital's Angela Aldrich is reportedly launching a dedicated short-only strategy, while Maverick Capital's David Tykocinski outlined a bullish case for Intel.
