[Recap] Hedge Fund Also Lost: Was Losing Money the Norm for Q1?

Hedge funds, known as the "safe haven of Wall Street," continued their poor performance. In March, the multi-strategy fund Millennium fell 1.2%, bringing its first-quarter decline to 2%. Meanwhile, Citadel's flagship hedge fund dropped 0.5% last month, extending its year-to-date loss to 0.85%. Did you lock in big wins, or was it a rough ride? How's your Q1 performing? Was losing money the norm in Q1?

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The first quarter of 2025 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for global markets. Despite hopes for a post-2024 rebound, volatility dominated Q1, leaving many investors—both retail and institutional—struggling to secure gains. Even hedge funds, known for their sophisticated strategies and risk management, have not been immune to the turbulence. A Tough Quarter for Hedge Funds Reports indicate that several major hedge funds faced losses in Q1, caught in a market that offered few safe havens. While some funds benefited from short positions during sharp downturns, others found themselves on the losing end of unexpected sector rotations and economic uncertainty. The underperformance of key technology stocks, concerns over g

In the past Q1 of 2025,The $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ has just crossed a major milestone, hitting an all-time high of 4,005 on 27 March 2025.This new record surpasses its previous peak from October 2023, and even the high it reached way back in 2007 before the Global Financial Crisis.What makes this climb even more noteworthy is the context: while the US market continues to struggle with volatility — partly due to ongoing trade tensions and tariff concerns — the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ has quietly pushed its way higher.You may also be interested in the top 10 best-performing stocks on the $SGX(S68.SI)$ in Q1 2025:

Did You Beat the Market in Q1?

The first quarter of 2025 was a rollercoaster ride! Tech stocks took a hit, with the Nasdaq tumbling as heavyweights like Nvidia, Apple, and Google pulled back, shaking up the dominance of the Magnificent Seven. Meanwhile, across the globe, Hong Kong stocks made a stunning comeback—the Hang Seng Index surged, and the Hang Seng Tech Index skyrocketed, proving that markets never move in just one direction. My Trading Journey in Q1 2025 This quarter tested my trading strategy, and I certainly had my ups and downs. January started off weak, and I saw red in my P&L, but as the quarter progressed, my portfolio improved. I actively bought and sold a variety of stocks and ETFs, learning valuable lessons along the way. Here are my most profitable trades, ranked by realized gains: SOXL (Direxion

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   Sadly, I did not beat the market for Q1 2025! The only person I  believe beat Q1 2025 is Warren Buffet , as he sold off tonnes of his portfolio holding the cash and now is his shopping spree moment as a long term investor! So,did any of you buy any cheap stock recently?  Looking at the data of post COVID period from 2020 till now for NASDAQ monthly timeline, the only time when candle touch on Bolinger Band centre line, instead of go up it goes further down was 2022! 2022 was the year with highest inflation post COVID and also the year of Ukraine Vs Russia war, which eventually FEDS keep increase interest rate. So, the big question ' Where are we now?' We are now getting closer to centre line of Bolinger Band

I bought mainly HK stocks so I’m happy! I bought mixue and mao Geping. As with the usual HK stocks, it is volatile. So, I have been mainly trading them to get profits. I think it is my experience from the past that it is better to have smaller profits than to be stuck with it. I will only buy stocks that I believe will do well in the longer term and seek to buy them at the appropriate price before selling them off to take profit. This will be my strategy in Q2 as well. The more volatile it is, the better it is to swing trade. The underlying important thing is still to only buy good companies that I do not mind holding. @SPOT_ON @Fenger1188

Q1 2025 Portfolio Update: A Strong Start

This quarter saw my portfolio achieve a 4.78% gain, resulting in a profit of SGD 21,000. This includes SGD 3,800 in received dividends and SGD 11,000 in booked dividends. I currently project total dividend income of approximately SGD 20,000 for 2025.  My investment strategy, initiated in January 2022 (marking the start of a new investment cycle coinciding with the US Fed's interest rate hikes), focuses on a low-risk approach. The period since has been challenging for Singapore dividend stocks and emerging markets due to rising interest rates and a strong US dollar. Despite this headwind, and contrary to my expectations, higher and prolonged interest rate increases, my portfolio has surprisingly outperformed the Nasdaq by 1.3% over the past three years. This underscores the subjective
