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.

Fixed Income
Fixed Income hedge funds aim to generate consistent returns by investing in bonds and other debt securities. These funds focus on preserving capital while providing a steady income stream, leveraging sophisticated strategies to navigate interest rate fluctuations and credit risks.
Fundamental
This strategy aims to generate returns by taking both long and short positions in interest rate securities. It primarily seeks to profit from mispricing across interest-bearing securities and invest in yield-enhancing opportunities. The strategy involves investing across the yield curve, credit spreads, basis (cash) and other income baring instruments.
Quantitative
This strategy seeks to generate returns by balancing both fixed income relative value exposures with credit exposures. The strategy takes both long and short positions in interest rate and credit securities. The strategy predominately uses quantitative analysis techniques to profit from mispricing across credit instruments.
