Goldman data: hedge funds cut tech exposure at fastest pace in a decade

A Hedgeweek report citing Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data claims hedge funds cut technology stock exposure at the fastest pace since Goldman's records began in 2016 during the five trading sessions to 15 October. The report states the selling coincided with a 5.5% weekly drop in the Nasdaq 100, its steepest since April 2025, and that technology was the worst-performing sector in the MSCI World Index over the period.
