Hedge fund traders are on edge amid the roiling geopolitical conflict, but they\u2019re still trying to hold onto their marquee stocks by adding hedges, according to a Goldman Sachs equities expert.<\/p>\n

John Flood, head of Americas Equities Execution Services at Goldman Sachs Global Banking & Markets, says in a new interview<\/a> that macro factors have entered a period of \u201cextreme uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s start with hedge funds, who are our most active traders from the institutional community. They have held onto their single stock longs because there\u2019s still high conviction in your core ideas. But due to the macro uncertainty, we\u2019re seeing an extreme of amount of hedging. And what that means is we\u2019re seeing a lot of shorting of macro products: futures, ETFs, custom baskets. So, there\u2019s a thought that, okay, we\u2019re bracing for more of this headline risk. I don\u2019t want to give up on the names that I\u2019ve held for a long time that I think are alpha generating. But I need to make sure I\u2019m fully hedged up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Flood notes that one of the most prominent current themes in the market is exposure to Asia, particularly South Korea and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

\u201cKorea and Taiwan have been excellent trades. And the hedge fund community and institutional investors are long these regions right now. During this unrest, we\u2019ve seen a pull back. So, you\u2019ve had a drawdown in the momentum factor. Korea. Taiwan. Viewed as high momentum. High momentum areas of the market. The momentum factor is pulled back. What is this trade easiest expressed? It\u2019s long semis versus short software. That\u2019s the AI trade. So, it\u2019s Korea, it\u2019s Taiwan, it\u2019s momentum.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
