Jane Street lost $15 billion in its first down month in a decade
Fortune 26
Jane Street reported roughly $15 billion of losses in July, its first down month in about a decade, tied in part to losses from its investment in the AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness and to wrong-way bets in Asian equities. The swing came in July. As a result, Jane Street says it has closed a significant portion of risk in the areas that hurt in July and is more selective about taking risk while it moves ahead with a $14.6 billion bond refinancing.
