AI对冲基金Situational Awareness出售公开投资组合，保留Anthropic私募股权

AI对冲基金Situational Awareness因AI基础设施股票大幅下跌而遭受重创，已向Ken Griffin旗下的Citadel出售其大部分公开股票投资组合1。该基金由25岁的前OpenAI研究员Leopold Aschenbrenner创立，资产管理规模从峰值约45亿美元骤跌至约10亿美元1。SK Hynix、SanDisk、Bloom Energy、Nebius Group等重仓股票过去一个月跌幅均超过30%1。

基金创始人Aschenbrenner在7月24日致投资者信中表示这是"自去年年初以来最好的买入机会"，邀请投资者从8月1日起承诺新资本1。尽管公开投资组合遭受挫折，Situational Awareness仍保留了对Anthropic等私人企业的股权投资，当前估值为50亿美元1。Anthropic在5月Series H轮融资中估值达965亿美元，预计10月前后上市1。

Situational Awareness, an artificial intelligence-focused hedge fund founded by 25-year-old former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, has sold most of its public stock portfolio to Ken Griffin's Citadel following significant losses in AI infrastructure equities 1. The fund's assets under management have contracted from approximately $4.5 billion at its peak to around $1 billion, while its public holdings in companies including SK Hynix, SanDisk, Bloom Energy, and Nebius Group have each declined by more than 30 percent over the past month 1.

Despite the portfolio reduction, Situational Awareness has retained its equity stake in Anthropic, currently valued at $5 billion 1. The fund achieved a 439 percent return through mid-year, but Aschenbrenner characterized recent market conditions as "the best buying opportunity since the beginning of last year" in a July 24 letter to investors, inviting them to commit new capital beginning August 1 1. Anthropic, which raised funding at a $96.5 billion valuation in its May Series H round, is expected to pursue an initial public offering around October, a development that could result in higher valuations for existing shareholders like Situational Awareness 1.
