Sub Index - Market Neutral Discretionary
These managers apply traditional long/short equity techniques to construct a market neutral portfolio, with a core focus on company-specific fundamentals. Within this category, we identify two broad approaches to portfolio construction and risk management. On one side, there are managers offering investors pure long-alpha products with portfolio beta neutralised using index futures or baskets of stocks. On the other hand, there are managers aiming to generate alpha from both sides of the portfolio including alpha shorts (the use of indices is limited to the purpose of hedging residual unintended risks). Within this strand of the discipline, some managers employ 'pair-trading' techniques with the aim to maximise exposure to stock level idiosyncrasies while minimising exposure to ‘market factors’ (sector, style, ect). This investment approach is often model/research intensive, with the opportunity set typically restricted to a limited number of stocks that are well known by the manager as they seek to arbitrage out inefficiencies in share price valuations.
