The use of hedge funds in financial portfolios has grown dramatically since the start of the 21st century. A hedge fund is just a fancy name for an investment partnership that has freer rein to invest aggressively and in a wider variety of financial products than most mutual funds. It's the marriage of a professional fund manager, who is often known as the general partner, and the investors, sometimes known as the limited partners.
Hedge Fund Partnerships
In keeping with the aim of these vehicles to make money, regardless of whether the stock market climbs higher or declines, we can hedge by going long (if we foresee a market rise) or shorting stocks (if we anticipate a drop).
Our Strategies
Long/Short Equity: We work by exploiting profit opportunities in both potential upside and downside expected price moves. This strategy takes long positions in stocks identified as being relatively underpriced while selling short stocks that are deemed to be overpriced.
Equity Market Neutral:We attempt to exploit differences in stock prices by being long and short an equal amount in closely related stocks. These stocks may be within the same sector, industry, and country, or they may simply share similar characteristics such as market capitalization and be historically correlated. EMN funds are created with the intention of producing positive returns regardless of whether the overall market is bullish or bearish.
Global Macro: This strategy bases its holdings primarily on the overall economic and political views of various countries or their macroeconomic principles. Holdings may include long and short positions in equity, fixed income, currency, commodities, and futures markets.
Merger Arbitrage:We simultaneously purchase and sell the stocks of two merging companies to create riskless profits
