US Equity Long Short

Our Equity Long Short strategy seeks to generate positive returns by buying stocks expected to perform well and selling short stocks expectedto perform relatively poorly, while keeping a net long exposure to the market of circa 50%.

The strategy targets attractive returns via two sources: the spread between long and short equity positions and a long core exposure that seeks to outperform the S&P500.

It aims to deliver higher risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility compared to US equity markets.

Investment universe: US equities with a market capitalization above $ 5bn at time of purchase.
