In the just-passed Q2, hedge funds demonstrated clear dynamism and adaptability to global economic-political fluctuations.

Despite many instabilities, from US trade tensions, public debt issues, to Middle East conflicts, money still poured strongly into the market - reaching a record mobilization of 37.3 billion USD in 1H 2025, far exceeding the 7.2 billion USD figure from the same period last year.

Not only attracting large capital inflows, hedge fund performance results were also positive:

• HFRI Equity Hedge Index (equity long-short strategy) up 7.6%, event-driven recorded +5.0% - the strongest growth since Q1/2021.

At the same time, investment strategies showed clear shifts:

• Funds strongly increased positions in “Magnificent Seven” such as Nvidia, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, ...

  • Bridgewater more than doubled Nvidia holdings (equivalent to 1.14 billion USD),

  • Discovery Capital and Tiger Global also strongly increased shares in names like Meta, CoreWeave, Amazon, Lam Research

  • Soros and Appaloosa both multiplied their Nvidia shares by hundreds of percent

• Meanwhile, Bridgewater dumped Chinese stocks like Alibaba, Baidu, NIO, Li Auto and JD.com

• Appaloosa also went heavy into UnitedHealth – a healthcare stock that faced strong pressure earlier this year.

Overall, Q2/2025 marks a multifaceted picture: volatile markets, massive capital flowing into hedge funds, strategies shifting from banks to essential consumer goods, and a race to invest heavily in technology – especially AI – while expectations for the global economy remain divided.
