Global hedge funds are on track to deliver another year of strong performance, helped by an AI-driven investment boom, according to research cited by Bloomberg from Goldman Sachs, as reported by Hedgeweek.

The report points to results during the first half of 2026, when returns rose to levels well above historical averages.

Hedgeweek said the AI investment surge has been a key support for hedge fund performance as markets adjust to expanding technology spending.
