Hedge Funds Are Shorting Small Caps Into a New Regime

With the S&P 500 down 2.8% in five days and the Nasdaq off 5.1%, this episode zooms in on a signal that looks like a regime shift: the Russell 2000 has been getting hammered harder than large-cap indexes relative to fundamentals. Lucas and Luna break down the specific ratio hedge funds are watching — the S&P 500 to Russell 2000 ratio — and what it says about positioning, liquidity, and the Fed holding rates steady at 3.63%. They walk through one real trade structure from a multi-strat fund that's using put spreads on IWM to express a non-consensus view. No grand predictions, just the math and the edge. #HedgeFund #SmallCaps #Russell2000 #IWM #MarketRegime #S&P500 #Nasdaq #FedPolicy #MikeWarsh #RateHolds #VIX #EquityDerivatives #ShortSelling #MultiStrat #FexingoBusiness #Finance #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
