About BPLSX

Boston Partners Long/Short Equity Fund Institutional Class is an actively managed mutual fund that employs a long/short equity strategy. The fund is designed to seek capital appreciation by taking both long and short positions in equity securities, aiming to benefit from rising and falling markets. Its investment approach combines traditional fundamental analysis with a disciplined process for identifying undervalued stocks to buy (long positions) and overvalued stocks to sell short. The fund primarily invests in mid-sized U.S. companies but maintains flexibility to access a variety of sectors, including financial services, energy, healthcare, industrials, and technology. This fund stands out for its ability to reduce market exposure relative to traditional long-only funds, as reflected by its typically lower beta to equity benchmarks. Its diversified holdings often include significant cash positions and alternative instruments to manage portfolio risk and liquidity. The Boston Partners Long/Short Equity Fund Institutional Class caters to institutional investors, featuring a high minimum investment and an expense ratio above the category average. The fund has demonstrated solid risk-adjusted returns over the long term, contributing to its recognition among long-short equity peer funds.
