Hedge Fund Performance: Global hedge funds saw limited gains of 0.60% from a significant Wall Street rally, underperforming the S&P 500, which rose 3.23%. This underperformance is attributed to reduced exposure to U.S. markets and increased bearish positions due to uncertainty from tariff announcements.
Market Trends: Year-to-date, hedge funds have gained an average of 2.12%, while the S&P 500 has declined by 0.69%. The shift in investment strategies reflects a broader trend of hedge funds reallocating resources away from the U.S. amid ongoing trade tensions.
