Goldman data: hedge funds cut leverage fastest since March amid October losses

Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data, as reported by Hedgeweek, shows hedge funds reduced leverage at the fastest pace since March after losses across fundamental and systematic strategies in October. Fundamental long-short equity funds fell 3.5% and systematic strategies lost 3.6%, the first time both groups posted monthly losses above 3% since Goldman began tracking in 2016. Net leverage fell 4.2 percentage points to 73.4%, and funds were net sellers of global equities by the largest dollar amount in seven months, with about $20bn of technology stocks sold over two weeks.
