Global hedge funds post worst drop in 4 years amid volatility

Hedge funds globally have recorded their worst decline in four years, based on recent reports. This drop, the most severe since 2022, is largely due to heightened volatility in international financial markets. The instability has been intensified by the conflict in the Middle East, which has created uncertainty and pressures across various asset classes. Consequently, fund managers are grappling with challenges to sustain stable returns in a turbulent economic environment.
