ExodusPoint Capital Management has taken up a large short position in Deliveroo, amid a difficult market debut for the UK technology startup.

In the first big public short of the food delivery firm, the New York hedge fund's short position makes up about 0.56% of Deliveroo shares, according to data firm Breakout Point. That would make the bet worth as much as £26m based on the UK stock's last closing price.
