Hedge Funds Are Shorting the S&P 500

from The Hedge Fund Podcast with Fexingo: Alternative Investments, Strategies, and Institutional Investing · host Fexingo

With the S&P 500 down 2.8% in five days and the VIX surging 34% to 21.51, hedge funds are piling into short bets on the broad market. Lucas and Luna drill into the specific trade: how managers are using S&P futures, put option collars, and inverse ETFs to capitalize on the rotation out of large-cap tech. They examine the jobs report shock that pushed the Fed further out of reach, the Nasdaq's 5.1% weekly slide, and why the small-cap Russell 2000 is also falling. Featuring a look at the VIX term structure and which hedge fund strategies are working right now. #HedgeFunds #ShortSelling #SP500 #VIX #Nasdaq #Fed #Warsh #JobsReport #MarketRotation #Finance #AlternativeInvestments #Investing #FuturesTrading #Volatility #Russell2000 #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InstitutionalInvesting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
