Systematic hedge funds pummeled in post-U.S. CPI stocks rally – Goldman Sachs
Global hedge funds that use algorithms to trade suffered their second worst single day this year on Tuesday, as softer than expected U.S. inflation numbers sparked a hefty stocks rally, a Goldman Sachs note showed. The worst trading day for these hedge funds was in late August, the note showed, adding no additional information for the reason or an exact date. Stockpicking hedge funds that actively chose bets managed to gain 0.6% on Tuesday and are now poised for their best month since January this year, said Goldman Sachs.
