Adds Jain Global's performance

NEW YORK, Aug 2 (Reuters) -Citadel's flagship hedge fund Wellington posted a gain of 0.74% in July, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, in a month some investors started to reduce their exposure to megacap technology stocks.
In the year through July, Wellington is up 8.82%, the source added.
Ken Griffin's multi-strategy hedge fund Citadel, which manages roughly $63 billion in assets, declined to comment on its performance.
Amid concerns about the resilience of U.S. economy, some hedge funds started to de-risk last month, selling mainly megacap technology stocks.
Morgan Stanley said computer-driven macro hedge funds sold $20 billion in equities last week and were set to shed at least $25 billion more this week, marking one of the largest risk-unwinding events in a decade.
Jain Global, another multi-strategy hedge fund, ended its first month of trading down 0.65%, two sources familiar with the matter said.
Launched by former Millennium co-chief investment officer Bobby Jain, the fund started to partially deploy the $5.3 billion it raised in investment commitments last month, according to one of the sources.
