Buying activity was concentrated in North America and emerging Asian markets, with Europe being the only major region where tech stock purchases were not observed. ⑵ Inflows were highly concentrated in chip manufacturers and software developers, while hedge funds actively reduced their holdings in telecommunications equipment manufacturers and IT consulting services during the same period. ⑶ Current hedge fund holdings of tech stocks relative to the MSCI World Index have reached their highest level since Goldman Sachs began tracking this data in 2016. ⑷ Investment managers are using a two-way strategy to build tech stock exposure: both closing short positions and simultaneously establishing new long positions. ⑸ Despite the continued macroeconomic headwinds from the Iranian conflict disrupting the market, tech stocks directly related to artificial intelligence have shown significant resilience. Chips and microprocessors, as the foundational hardware for AI, remain the core allocation direction for hedge funds.
