“If you had to pick a single industry that could be interesting to every hedge fund, it might be biotech,” Mergers &amp; Inquisitions founder Brian DeChesare <a href="https://mergersandinquisitions.com/biotech-hedge-funds/">wrote</a>&nbsp;in a blog post. Investments in biotechs can deliver huge gains – and huge losses – in short periods, while their stocks are often only weakly correlated with broader market trends, he noted.

Hedge funds have sharply ramped up their selloff in global stocks, according to data from Goldman Sachs Bank's Prime Services Desk unit <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-23/hedge-funds-sold-most-global-equities-since-april-goldman-says">cited </a>by Bloomberg. Net selling in the week ended Feb. 19 reached the fastest pace since April 2025, when U.S. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-to-reflect-trading-partner-retaliation-and-alignment/">announced</a> new duties and triggered a stock market crash.

Insiders mostly sold off stocks amid the S&amp;P 500's record highs. What does that tell us?

The year 2025 abruptly reversed the dynamics of the currency market: the dollar's exchange rate against the currencies of major U.S. trading partners, which had risen by 40% between 2010 and 2024, fell sharply. The first half of the year was marked by the strongest dollar <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/insights/articles/us-dollar-declines">depreciation</a> in half a century, down 11% since 1973. In the following months, the nominal effective exchange rate <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1NxFg">recovered</a> about a quarter of the decline, while the real exchange rate <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RBUSBIS">remained</a> roughly flat at the end of the first half of the year.

The dollar under Trump has suffered its strongest decline in half a century. This may not be the end

Morning in New York: market sentiment is dictated by uncertainty in the Fed's plans

Hedge funds attracted almost $34 billion in the three months ending in September, according to Hedge Fund Research data <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-23/hedge-fund-assets-hit-5-trillion-most-inflows-since-before-financial-crisis">cited</a> by Bloomberg. This is the largest quarterly net inflow since 2007, that is, since the period before the global financial crisis, which changed the attitude of investors to risk. As a result, the assets of the global hedge fund industry reached a record $5 trillion, the agency writes.

Hedge funds have broken the pre-crisis record for money inflows. How do they attract investors?
