EFG International sees diversification as key for hedge funds in 2026

By Public Technologies
  • Hedge fund analysis highlights diversification, risk management and adaptation to changing correlations as priorities for 2026 over exposure to top-performing assets.
  • The HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index fell 1.2% in October as crowded trades became vulnerable to rapid sentiment shifts.
  • October’s technology reversal pushed the Nasdaq 100 down 6.6%; the Semiconductor Index (SOX) fell 15.4%.
  • A technology-led sell-off on November 5 hit equity long/short funds exposed to AI-linked stocks, erasing much of many funds’ earlier gains.
  • Trend-following CTAs, selected global macro strategies and certain quantitative strategies benefited from market moves, contrasting with losses in directional equity long/short strategies.
