Global Equity Long Short Fund

Investment Objective

Taking advantage of the VALMO strategy in the global markets without having any exposure to the markets.

Investment Strategy

This fund invests in a series of monthly Global equity baskets representing stocks that have exhibited strong price momentum characteristics for different periods in the past 12 months and in a series of value stocks. It simultaneously assumes short positions in the market or in a selection of stocks identified by the model as most likely to underperform.  The model has the choice of maintaining a comparative country selection or can use the Landry top-down country allocation model to over-weight or under-weight certain regions. The portfolio model uses a number of screens and formula to “smooth” the various return characteristics of the individual stocks in various countries. The selection then is subject to a fundamental and technical review by the portfolio managers before final selections are made.
