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].
