One of the best ideas to come from the hedge-fund world is ‘long-short’ investing. It’s an equity investment technique that has been used to great effect by some of the world’s most successful hedge funds.
The founders of Zedd Capital Limited are experienced, successful ‘long-short’ investment managers. We invest in European equities, using a value-based stock selection and investment strategy. What’s different in our approach is that our ‘long-short’ strategy may generate returns from shares that are overvalued as well as from shares that are undervalued.
A ‘long-short’ equity investment portfolio may (depending who is running it) be uncorrelated to stock markets - it has the potential to deliver attractive returns in the medium-to-long-term, regardless of whether stock markets move up or down. At a time when interest rates on cash deposits are at all-time lows, and investors may be unsure about the direction in which stock markets will move next, this represents an alternative investment approach that can be used alongside traditional equity investments in a balanced portfolio.
Zedd ‘long-short’ managed accounts are a transparent and flexible way for private and institutional investors to access our investment management expertise and 'long-short' equity strategy.
