Global hedge funds experienced their most significant monthly drawdown in over four years during March 2026, according to data from GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC. The downturn was primarily fueled by heightened market volatility linked to geopolitical conflict involving Iran. This period represented the sharpest decline since January 2022, when investors were grappling with a hawkish Federal Reserve and rising global tensions.
