KI-Fonds: „Wir haben diesen Monat enttäuscht“: Aschenbrenners Hedgefonds verliert im Juli 67 Prozent an Wert

In July, German investor Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness hedge fund experienced a 67% drop in value, according to a letter to clients shared by the Wall Street Journal. The fund, established just two years ago, had previously seen significant losses in its AI-related investments, leading to the need for emergency sales.
