Q4 2021 hedge fund letters, conferences and more
Markets remained broadly weak in February as financial conditions tightened and Russia’s military action in Ukraine added pressure to the global growth outlook. Domestically, U.S. economic data continued to demonstrate growth in manufacturing, retail sales, and employment. That said, global GDP forecasts are declining due to the above mentioned factors creating downside risks. The Composite continued to take advantage of market dislocations by adding to and initiating new positions in our highest conviction longs that have little direct impact from inflation or interest rate concerns, while consistently rotating in additional shorts as the market provided opportunities to become more aggressive during earnings season.
