Justin Lubell, Citadel's Global Equities head, said shorting has been a big driver of returns. There's less competition in the space compared to going long on stocks, he said. Anthony Bozza, the founder of Lakewood Capital, called those who know who to short stocks a "dying breed." AdvertisementWhile some big bets against specific stocks have blown up in hedge funds' faces in recent years, there's still a focus on shorting at Citadel's longest-running equities unit.

Maverick Capital wasn't immune to the private market turmoil that has tanked start-ups and crushed venture capital returns. Like many private investors, Maverick has marked down some of its investments internally as higher interest rates have put pressure on money-losing start-ups. Snapdocs, according to Maverick, should no longer be considered a unicorn, valuing the online mortgage processing company at $628 million. Maverick, which runs a $1.4 billion venture and growth fund, is bullish on a few of its companies, though — even raising their valuations despite the overall market turbulence. Brazilian digital rental marketplace company QuintoAndar is worth 20% more now than when Maverick invested at the end of 2021.

Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital is betting on Netflix once again and beefing up positions in several beaten-up technology stocks after a rough year for the sector. The hedge fund opened a fresh stake worth $82.9 million in Netflix during the third quarter, according to regulatory filings. Ainslie owned the streaming stock earlier this year, but liquidated his position during the second quarter. Netflix shares have come under pressure this year in an increasingly competitive streaming environment, with shares down roughly 49%. Coatue Management, meanwhile, trimmed its position in the streaming stock.
