Hedge Funds Push Into Quantum Computing:

Hedge funds are increasing exposure to publicly traded quantum computing firms such as IonQ, Rigetti and D‑Wave, moving the technology from venture‑capital niches to institutional portfolios. They employ structured, risk‑managed strategies—pairing longs with shorts, using options, and limiting volatility—to capture optionality. Three catalysts drive this shift: falling error rates, surging government and corporate funding, and market mispricing that creates entry opportunities. The bets are framed as multi‑year convex plays rather than short‑term earnings trades.
