HEDGE FUNDS SELL GLOBAL STOCKS AT FASTEST PACE SINCE APRIL Hedge funds’ net sales of global equities hit the fastest pace since April 2025, Goldman Sachs reports. Net selling through Feb. 19 was 1.4 standard deviations below normal, led by North America and Europe, with short sales driving much of the activity. Financials saw the largest disposals, while energy, health care, and staples were net buys. Despite the selling, hedge fund performance in early 2026 remains solid amid market volatility and AI-driven uncertainty.(*Walter Bloomberg)
