  • Global hedge funds taking long and short bets on stocks last year sported their highest average returns since 2020, Goldman Sachs said in a note, attributing the result to steady returns amid volatile markets.

The article from Reuters discusses the performance of stock-picking hedge funds in 2024, highlighting that they achieved their highest average returns since 2020. According to Hedge Fund Research (HFR), these funds saw a 3.1% increase in December, culminating in a 13.3% gain for the year. This performance was driven by a broad market rally, with significant contributions from sectors like technology, particularly AI-related stocks, and a general market optimism fueled by expectations of a soft economic landing and potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The article notes that while the S&P 500 also had a strong year, hedge funds managed to outperform the index, showcasing the value of active management in navigating market volatility and sector-specific opportunities. However, it also mentions that not all hedge funds performed equally well, with some strategies like macro funds underperforming due to misjudged economic forecasts.
