Leda Braga systematic investments, one of the most hedge funds that depend on the world’s known computer, are on its worst lines ever in its main fund, as the turmoil in the market caused by US President Donald Trump attracts many industry names.

The daily liquidity version of the Bluetrend strategy, which costs $ 4 billion for the company, decreased by 18.8 percent this year, according to the general disclosure of the Schrooder Gaia Bluetrend Fund. Nearly 36 percent of its previous peak decreased in 2022.

Braga is one of the most prominent women in the hedge industry, where Systematica was founded in 2015 as a Spinout from Billionaire Michael Platt’s Bluecrest Capital. Systematica now runs about $ 17 billion in assets.

Bluetrend was hit through large movements in markets such as natural gas, silver and coffee, and the lack of protection provided by the US dollar and a treasury, which was sold at the same time with stock markets this month, according to a person familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, weding funds have suffered because the huge fluctuations from Trump’s tariff have caught advanced trading models.

One of its main strategies – trying to stick to the continuous market trends – was especially difficult because the markets quickly changed the direction.

One of the CEOs of the quantitative hedge fund said: “When there is a fluctuation overnight to a specific policy that can be able to follow the direction and we saw this during the past week or so,” said one of the CEOs of the quantitative hedge fund.

The pioneering trend of the pioneer in the German after the AHL Alpha box decreased by 5.2 percent in April and a decrease in 9.4 so far this year, while the varied macro fund in Winton Group, which is betting on market trends and other strategies, decreased 6.9 percent this year as of April 11.

The diversified trend in the Transernd in Rotterdam lost 18.7 per cent this year, with losses that come primarily from the bets and currency, according to a spokesman.

The indicator decreased by Société générale and tracked the trend after 10.8 percent for this year. A wider index of quantitative funds that focus on futures trading decreased by 5.9 percent this month to April 10, and decreased by 8.29 percent on an annual basis, as of Thursday.

The largest fund for the giant renaissance technologies available to external investors Loss 8 percent This month to April 4. The fund was still 4.4 percent this year.

Like many investors, quantitative money has started in the year strongly, and helped optimism that Trump’s plans for tax discounts and the abolition of organizational restrictions will lead to an increase in economic growth.

However, the markets turned to the concerns that the fears have grown about the impact of the proposed definitions, as the shares decreased after the so -called “liberation day” on April 2, and it is usually seen as one of the assets in times of stress in the stock market, as it was sold sharply, which spoils some investors.

“Anything happens on this range and at this short time a lot of damage will occur,” said one of the CEOs in a hedging box.

But the CEO of the first company said that although the market shock from the Trump tariff was painful, the subsequent “Tamuli effects” of the huge political transformation are still beneficial to the quantitative hedge funds. For example, if the definitions lead to high inflation, the origins like gold may continue to rise.

The person added: “Often the next direction needs great transformations in the macro because this is where you see the effects in different markets with directions that you can use.”
