Hi all, what would this fund be doing to where it would lose a lot of money if the index does not even move…

What fund?

So you are saying there is a fund that loses money from being short retail stocks. However, the stocks have not increased. Maybe they have some kind of decaying volatility derivative, like they bought a lot of put options. Otherwise, maybe they embezzled the money to buy yachts.
