Hedge Funds Could Be a Wildcard if Fiscal Shocks Mount -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-23

2338 GMT - Rising fiscal shocks linked to the fallout in market of the war in Iran could be amplified because sovereign debt is increasingly held by hedge funds, says BBH in a note to clients. Unlike banks or private investors such pension funds, insurance companies, and asset managers, hedge funds are leveraged and highly liquidity driven, it adds. They rely on short-term secured borrowing from bank dealers to finance their investments. In periods of stress, funding can dry up, making fiscal shocks translate into faster, larger, and more correlated market moves, BBH warns. (james.glynn@wsj.com; X @JamesGlynnWSJ)
