About BPLEX

The Boston Partners Long/Short Equity Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund designed to offer investors long-term capital appreciation while aiming to reduce overall equity market risk. Its primary objective is to achieve a total return exceeding that of the S&P 500® through a diversified strategy that includes both long and short positions in equities. The fund’s management team selects undervalued stocks for long exposure and identifies overvalued securities for short positions, seeking to capitalize on mispricings across market sectors. Notably, the portfolio’s top holdings span financial services, energy, healthcare, technology, and industrials, reflecting a broad sectoral approach. About 20% of assets are typically allocated to cash and equivalents, supporting risk management and opportunistic investment moves. While its overall process is considered robust, the fund features a relatively high expense ratio compared to peers, which investors should factor into their analysis. Boston Partners Long/Short Equity Fund Investor Class plays a distinctive role as a flexible, actively managed tool for market participants seeking to navigate equity market volatility with a differentiated strategy.
