(HedgeCo.Net). Global hedge funds — including many U.S.-based firms — are tracking toward a ~15% return for 2025 through the end of November, according to a recent report. Reuters+1

In November alone, many long-short and systematic strategies posted gains despite a sharp tech-stock sell-off. Reuters+1

Sector exposure to healthcare, rising positions in U.S. equities, and reduced exposure to volatile high-growth tech names helped drive performance. Reuters

This strong performance — ahead of many broad market indices — underscores the continued relevance of hedge funds as meaningful diversifiers in modern portfolios, especially in turbulent markets. GCM Grosvenor+1
