A hedge fund managed by a former OpenAI researcher is building a position in SK Hynix ahead of the South Korean memory chipmaker's anticipated initial public offering on the Nasdaq.
The move highlights growing institutional interest in the company as it seeks to raise capital for its artificial intelligence memory expansion.
Recent reporting has indicated that a leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has grown to become the largest ETF in Hong Kong by assets under management, reaching nearly $17 billion.
The fund's strategy involves taking a direct equity stake rather than relying on the leveraged exchange-traded funds that have come to dominate trading in the stock.
This approach contrasts with the broader market dynamic where derivative products have increasingly influenced the underlying share price.

The sheer size of this fund has led to concerns that it is distorting the price movements of the underlying stock, creating volatility that may not reflect fundamental business performance.
