Long Short Equity

Long Short Equity is an investment strategy that seeks to profit from both rising and falling stock prices. Investors buy (go long on) stocks they believe will increase in value and sell (short) stocks they expect will decline. By balancing these positions, the strategy aims to generate returns regardless of overall market direction, while managing risk through diversification. It’s commonly used by hedge funds to seek higher returns and protect against market volatility, leveraging both positive and negative market insights to optimize performance.
