TREE NEWS reports: Tiger Global Management’s hedge fund fell 8.5% in October, erasing its year-to-date gain, as AI investment concerns triggered a tech selloff. Whale Rock Capital Management’s flagship fund dropped about 8%, trimming its 2026 gain to roughly 34%, while Dan Sundheim’s D1 Capital Partners fell 4.4% and Atreides Management’s $3.4 billion flagship lost 9.5%. The declines stemmed from a tech-stock rout driven by worries over AI financing.
AI jitters hit stock-picking hedge funds; Tiger Global down 8.5% in October
AI take
The synchronized drawdown across Tiger Global, Whale Rock, D1 and Atreides suggests the AI trade has become a shared factor exposure rather than a source of differentiated returns — when financing worries hit, these books move together. That matters for allocators who assumed stock-picking skill would cushion a tech reversal. The dispersion is notable too: Whale Rock's loss trims a large prior gain, while Tiger's erases its year-to-date performance entirely, so entry timing and concentration matter more than direction. Whether AI-financing concerns keep driving correlated hedge fund losses is the open question.
