All

Equity

Equity hedge funds seek to capitalise on opportunities in the stock market by employing a variety of strategies. These funds are designed to adapt to market conditions, providing investors with the potential for robust growth and diversification within their investment portfolios.

Market neutral

This strategy aims to generate returns independent of the overall market performance. The strategy matches long and short positions to benefit from directional mispricing or hedge market directional exposure. The strategy seeks to minimise directional volatility through offsetting long and short positions.

Directional long short

This strategy seeks to generate returns by simultaneously being long and short in the equity market. Directional long positions are expected to appreciate in value, and short positions are expected to decline.
