FYI: .JPMorgan reckons hedge-fund deleveraging helped fuel selloff

.U.S. bank also singles out risk parity, balanced mutual funds

One quantum of solace for bruised stock bulls: Some of the usual suspects behind last week’s rout may be done frightening markets.

Equity long-short hedge funds are among the worst-performing categories this month, along with risk-parity investors and balanced mutual funds, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. -- a sign they helped fuel the market slump. Having slashed exposures amid the carnage, the deleveraging could now be over, according to the bank’s strategists.
