Hedge funds are still very much in the AI Trade

There have been a few headlines recently of several hedge funds getting burned by the AI trade (Situational Awareness comes to mind). I was curious of the extent of the industry's exposure, and the industry as a whole still has large exposure to AI. **Note, this is based on 13F filings as of 2026-06-30, which are comprised of long-only positions**.


One interesting thing I found was that Sachem Head Capital Management opened a 472,000-share position in Seagate Technology, during this period, making it its second largest holding. Similar to other AI names, it's had a really good year (up 194%) but has fallen a bit recently.

The rest are tables of largest position increases and exits:
