Hedge Funds Are Dumping Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc – Ordinary Shares (JAZZ)

We already know that not all hedge funds are bullish on the stock and some hedge funds actually sold off their positions entirely. At the top of the heap, Anand Parekh’s Alyeska Investment Group sold off the largest stake of the “upper crust” of funds tracked by Insider Monkey, valued at close to $49.8 million in stock, and Christopher James’ Partner Fund Management was right behind this move, as the fund dumped about $28.9 million worth of shares.

Liberty Global PLC LiLAC Class C (NASDAQ:LILAK) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand DexCom, Inc.
