ITI Long Short Equity AIF

AUM ( cr) | Inc Date (11-Apr-2018)

Scheme Rating

IME Scheme Rating

4 of 5 stars

With a greater ability to change exposures to net-long, ITI Long-Short Equity AIF is a good option for investors wanting to participate in the equity markets, while wanting downside protection. It is also a good fit for investors wanting to diversify their exposures from traditional long-only funds.

IME Strategy Rating

4 of 5 stars

Unlike absolute return strategies where net-long positions are kept within a tight band, ITI Long-short equity allows for a much higher degree of variance in the net-long exposures (ranging typically between 25-60%, but with an ability to go from -15% to 100%). This allows for a much greater ability for the fund to deliver longer-term outperformance, provided the fund manager’s call on the markets/stocks goes right. This strategy may be considered to be a more aggressive form of a dynamic asset allocation hybrid fund.
