Quỹ phòng hộ tập trung vào AI đã thanh lý toàn bộ danh mục cổ phiếu công khai

The Huoxing Caijing report, citing CNBC, states that Situational Awareness, an AI-themed hedge fund founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, sold its entire public equity portfolio in a single transaction to another hedge fund prior to Thursday’s market open; the buyer remains undisclosed. The fund also sold a significant portion of its holdings in Anthropic. With assets under management of approximately $20 billion to $24 billion, the fund achieved a net return of 439% as of the end of June, making it one of the top-performing hedge funds this year. According to sources familiar with the matter, this liquidation stemmed from substantial losses over recent weeks. The fund held long positions in AI infrastructure and semiconductor stocks such as SK Hynix, NVIDIA, Micron, and CoreWeave, most of which declined over 35% this month. Meanwhile, its short positions in software stocks like Adobe also experienced significant adverse movements. According to its March 31 13F filing, approximately 62% of its $13.68 billion portfolio consisted of put options betting on declines in semiconductor and technology stocks. It is reported that prime brokers including Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are assisting the fund in meeting margin calls or facilitating an orderly wind-down, while Aschenbrenner has sought new capital from existing investors and lenders.
