Ltd., KLA Corp., Lam Research Corp., Microsoft Corp., and Sony Group Corp.; purchased equity and currency options on assets like Microsoft Corp., Tesla Inc., NVIDIA Corp., and Invesco QQQ Trust; total return swaps on equities including Alphabet Inc., Carlyle Group Inc., and Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC; and short-term securities such as Dreyfus Treasury Obligations Cash Management; while employing securities sold short, not yet purchased, across various sectors and regions.
