HEDGE FLOW Hedge funds ditch tech and buy essentials, Goldman Sachs says
LONDON, July 28 (Reuters) - Hedge funds fled technology stocks at the fastest pace in 12 months in the latest week, just as the S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab reached all-time highs, a note to Goldman Sachs (GS.N), opens new tab clients and seen by Reuters said. The S&P 500, which includes seven tech stocks in its top 10 largest constituents by market value, has surged roughly 28% since its 2025 low, while the Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC), opens new tab has jumped 38% in that time. As of Friday, the S&P 500's forward price to earnings ratio, which reflects the value of a company's stock relative to its projected future earnings, was 23.11, around five-month highs, according to LSEG/Datastream. "U.S. equities valuations (such as price earnings ratios) are now 30% higher than their recent decade average, while 10-year yields remain stubbornly high and volatile. The future path of equities may depend partly on a decline in long-term rates; however, we do not seem to be there yet," Lombard Odier Investment Managers head of macro Florian Ielpo said in a note on Friday. Globally, hedge funds sold tech stocks, some of the most richly valued equities, more than any other sector last week, the Goldman Sachs note said. Rather than shorting the sector, hedge funds tended to ditch long bets and exit trades, the bank said. A short bet is designed to profit from a drop in an asset price. This week's exodus was the largest the bank had seen since July 2024, Goldman Sachs said. Hedge funds fleeing tech stocks centered on trading in North America and Europe. Every kind of tech stock was sold, including semiconductor chip companies, as well as those in software and IT services, the bank said. Meanwhile, shares in consumer staples - companies that sell items that people purchase regardless of economic conditions - were among the most net bought U.S. stock sectors this week, Goldman said. Hedge funds piled into these stocks for the fourth straight week and their trades were almost entirely long positions - those that will profit if the stock prices rise. The kind of companies whose shares hedge funds bought included those that sell food and beverages and personal care products.

DynaRisk raises $4.7m to shape the future of cyber insurance
London-based cyber risk management firm DynaRisk has today announced a $4.7million funding round led by YFM Equity Partners (YFM) to accelerate product innovation and fuel international expansion. 0 DynaRisk was founded in 2016 by ex-banking cybersecurity specialist - and self-taught hacker - Andrew Martin, who recognised that the insurance industry needed more tools and data to help them tap the fast growing cyber insurance and cyber assistance market. The market lacked simplified and accessible cybersecurity solutions backed by advanced threat intelligence for individuals, families and SMEs. As demand for cyber insurance and digital risk mitigation intensifies, this round of funding will help DynaRisk expand its operations across EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific, scaling its commercial and technical operations. Commenting on the investment, Andrew Martin, CEO of DynaRisk, said: 'Brokers, MGAs and (re)insurers are rushing to tap the fast growing cyber insurance market as cyber risk is now one of the most pressing challenges for consumers and SMEs globally. While working with global banks, I saw how larger corporations were using expensive and complex enterprise-level software and services and wanted to put these in the hands of more people. 'DynaRisk bridges that gap for the insurance sector, helping them protect their policyholders with industry-leading threat intelligence backed risk management and underwriting software, along with cyber incident response services. YFM quickly understood our vision and their support will be critical as we scale globally and continue to evolve our platform to meet growing demand.' Meanwhile, the business has appointed to its board serial entrepreneur Phil Zeidler, who has a proven track record in setting up and running successful InsurTech businesses. Today, DynaRisk works with (re)insurers, brokers and MGAs to help them empower individuals and businesses with the tools they need to protect themselves online, with a suite of threat intelligence driven SaaS products, portfolio-level monitoring and helpline services. It does this by embedding its cyber risk solutions into insurance offerings, with its software providing vulnerability scanning, dark web monitoring, cybersecurity scores, training and education, and tailored remediation guidance. DynaRisk's solutions allow brokers, underwriters and claims teams to grow premiums, enrich underwriting, boost policyholder engagement, and help reduce claims and loss ratios by helping to prevent cyber-attacks. Matt Gordon-Smith, Investment Director at YFM Equity Partners, added: 'DynaRisk has built impressive platforms and a client base in one of the fastest-growing segments of the insurance market. With cyber threats escalating and insurers and brokers under pressure to add more value to their policyholders, DynaRisk's embedded intelligence platforms and services are ideally positioned. We are delighted to back Andrew and his team as they grow their international footprint and continue to lead innovation in cyber risk management.' DynaRisk currently supports more than 25 insurance customers worldwide, covering approximately 2.4 million consumers and 800,000 SMEs. Recent client wins include Beazley's Turnkey Reinsurance team, Arthur J. Gallagher, REEOIC and SCOR, who join existing insurance firms including Chubb, SPB UK & Ireland, Aspire Insurance Advisers, Ridge Canada and BOXX Insurance Inc., reflecting the rising demand for scalable cyber risk solutions as embedded insurance grows globally. The YFM deal team comprised Matt Gordon-Smith, Alex Neale and David Wrench. YFM Advisers on the deal included Broadfield Law (Legal), HMT (Financial), RPL (Commercial) Leckie Kershaw (Technology), Fortius (GTM) and Catalysis (Organisational).
