Goldman Sachs reports that global hedge funds have been significantly reducing their exposure to U.S. stocks, particularly in the tech sector, over the past five trading days. This sell-off, the largest since November 2022 and approaching a five-year record, coincides with a broader market pullback in megacap tech-related stocks. The de-risking trend has been most pronounced in information technology, followed by industrial, healthcare, consumer discretionary, and communications services sectors. This shift in hedge fund positioning reflects growing caution in the market, especially towards high-growth tech stocks that have led much of the market’s gains in recent years.
