The Result: By combining both positions, fund managers can generate returns in any market condition — whether markets go up, down, or sideways. This reduces overall portfolio risk while seeking alpha.
Minimum 80% in equity with up to 25% short exposure through unhedged derivatives for market-neutral returns.
