How hedge funds performed in turbulent July
Hedge fund returns climbed in July as many were lifted by rising stock markets that hit record highs, though others were caught in turbulence sparked by U.S. trade uncertainty, according to a Goldman Sachs report and sources familiar with the funds. ADVERTISEMENT Hedge fund stockpickers returned almost 1.5% in July and are up roughly 7.8% for the year so far, said Goldman Sachs in a note to clients on Monday seen by Reuters. Systematic hedge funds trading stocks were on track to deliver their worst monthly performance on record before rebounding after July 25 to claw back half of their losses, finishing with a negative 2% return, said Goldman. These funds were up 10% for the year so far, however, added the bank. While stockpickers benefited by piling into already crowded trades, hedge funds using algorithms to create systematic trading strategies were hurt by busy trades, said Goldman. The S&P 500 hit record highs during July, but only returned 1.38%. The biggest multi-strategy funds posted muted returns, including Schonfeld Strategic Advisors' flagship fund Strategic Partners, which was down 0.3% in July and is now up 5.8% for 2025, according to a source familiar with the matter. Schonfeld's Fundamental Equity fund gained 1.4% last month and was up 7.1% in the year, the source added. ADVERTISEMENT The $76.9 billion British hedge fund Marshall Wace returned a negative 0.2% in its Market Neutral TOPS fund, bringing its half-year performance to roughly 11%. Its Eureka fund returned 1.6% in July and is up 6.1% for 2025 so far, said another source familiar with the fund's results.

Vendor Reveals How A Rs 2 Rakhi Is Sold For Rs 100: ‘Chilla Chillla Ke Sabko Scheme Bata De'
A video of a Rakhi wholesaler has grabbed the attention of the viewers, depicting how to sell a Rs 2 Rakhi for Rs 10, Rs 20 and even Rs 100. In India today, businesses are increasingly focusing on selling emotions and experiences, like fancy packaging and 'cute' designs, rather than just the product's tangible value, especially in e-commerce and retail. This often leads customers to spend more than the actual cost. As we celebrate Raksha Bandhan on August 9, 2025, many sisters are busy shopping for the perfect Rakhi for their brothers. But if you're someone who chooses products based on their packaging and presentation, this one's for you. Amid the festive spirit, a video of a Rakhi wholesaler has grabbed the attention of the viewers, depicting how to sell a Rs 2 Rakhi for Rs 10, Rs 20 and even Rs 100. Wholesaler's Hack To Sell Rakhi At Higher Prices In a video shared on Instagram, a wholesaler from Delhi's Sadar Bazaar instructs a creator how to sell a standard rakhi for a high price using elegant packaging. He claims that the more fancy your packaging is, the higher the price you can charge, and people will buy it without a doubt. He shows an Rs 2 rakhi that can be sold without packaging. But retailers may enhance their appearance to increase their price tag. Initially, he then showcases a standard plastic card, which buyers can purchase for at least Rs 10. He explains that if the identical rakhi is sold in a plastic box, it can cost Rs 50. How Did Social Media React? As soon as the video was shared online, it captured the audience's attention, prompting several reactions. An Instagram user wrote, 'Packaging is the king." Another one shared, 'Business mindset." One of them commented, 'Rakshabandhan ka dhandha." A user penned, 'This is Business." 'Chilla chillla ke sabko scheme Bata de," a user quipped. Another one shared, 'Packing and presentation play a very important role." While some users claimed that the customers won't buy these products at higher prices. A person wrote, 'Ab aisa nahi hota bhai sb log samajdar ho gye hai. Quality bhi matter krta hai (Now this does not happen brother; everyone has become sensible. Quality also matters)." According to Market Brew, the Rakhi business in India is expected to produce Rs 17,000 crore in revenues this year, with an additional ₹4,000 crore in related product sales for a total of Rs 21,000 crore.
