Goldman says such positioning can amplify volatility beyond index moves, while Barclays warns volatility-control funds may need to cut US equity exposure after the rout. Systematic strategies remain vulnerable, with AI, rates, and inflation risks seen as key triggers for further downside.(*Walter Bloomberg)
