Crowded AI trades, not short-sellers, blamed for Situational Awareness losses

S3 Partners said Situational Awareness’s sharp drawdowns stemmed from concentrated, leveraged positions in crowded AI trades.

Hedgeweek reports that sharp losses at the hedge fund Situational Awareness were driven by how the fund positioned into AI-related markets, rather than by a coordinated short-seller attack.

According to a Bloomberg-cited analysis from S3 Partners, the losses reflected concentrated and leveraged exposure tied to crowded AI trades, according to Hedgeweek.
