Global Hedge Funds Increase Weekly Investments in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan Equities

Global hedge funds have increased investments in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan equities to a decade-high weekly level, driven by interest in technology firms benefiting from artificial intelligence. According to Morgan Stanley, this surge, mainly outside the U.S., involved clients across regions and strategies, focusing on key semiconductor companies central to the global AI supply chain. Experts note Asia remains underowned and undervalued despite its significant role in the tech sector.
