Through an Equity Long/Short strategy, the fund seeks to invest in equities that are deemed attractive based on certain return factors, while simultaneously taking short positions in equities that are considered unattractive.

Products and Services

• Equity Long Positions

  As part of its investment strategy, the fund takes long positions in equity securities that the adviser believes are attractive. This involves purchasing equities that are expected to increase in value, allowing the fund to profit from their appreciation. The selection of these equities is based on a thorough analysis of various return factors deemed relevant by the adviser, aiming to maximize the portfolio's long-term total return.

• Equity Short Positions

  The fund also engages in taking short positions in equity securities that are considered unattractive by the adviser. Short selling involves borrowing equities that are anticipated to decrease in value and then selling them on the market. If the value of these equities declines, the fund can buy back the shares at a lower price, return them to the lender, and profit from the difference. This strategy is part of the fund's broader approach to capitalize on discrepancies in equity valuations, aligning with its goal of generating long-term total returns through both long and short positions.
