Market turmoil: Hedge funds usually have a lot of money and conduct highly leveraged transactions, and their short positions may cause market volatility and panic, especially when hedge funds suffer heavy losses in large-scale negative bets or wrong transactions.

Other financial institutions are affected: hedge funds usually have transactions and contacts with other financial institutions, such as investment banks and securities companies. When hedge funds break out, it may bring a chain reaction to these institutions, causing them to face risk exposure and financial problems.

Investor losses: investors in hedge funds may face losses, especially those who put their money into the affected hedge funds. They may not get the expected return on investment, and may even face the risk of principal loss.
