According to an analysis by Goldman Sachs Inc, last week, U.S. hedge funds bought and sold the most stock in more than a decade midst wild swings in GameStop Corp shares that many had bet against; their market exposure continues to be at near record levels.

“According to Goldman Sachs Prime Services, this week represented the largest active hedge fund de-grossing since February 2009. Funds in their coverage sold long positions and covered shorts in every sector,” wrote analysts from Goldman Sachs Inc in a note.

“Despite this active deleveraging, hedge fund net and gross exposures on a mark-to-market basis both remain close to the highest levels on record, indicating ongoing risk of positioning-driven sell-offs.”
