But what about the people who manage those funds' investments?
To be clear: I think some of the "sentiment" is from "serious" investors who care about fundamentals.. so there's some pool of people betting against each other based on that... but overall the market isn't necessarily tied to how well a company is doing. It's a casino.

Some combination of trading strategy (to include sentiment but like Fidelity 2045 isn't doing HFT), payola, and buy-and-hold. Possibly with some anti-sentiment hedging. Remember I am not claiming sentiment trading doesn't exist, I am disputing that the market is "just sentiment" - either literally or hyperbolically. > overall the market isn't necessarily tied to how well a company is doing. It's a casino. Lot of daylight between "sometimes hype is a factor" and "it is basically roulette".
