About QLEIX
AQR Long-Short Equity Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund that employs a long-short equity strategy, aiming to achieve capital appreciation by investing in both long and short positions in global equities. The fund utilizes a systematic, quantitative process to identify stocks expected to outperform for its long positions, and those anticipated to underperform for its short positions. This approach is designed to capture returns through both market exposure and distinct security selection, while maintaining moderate overall market risk. The fund's portfolio is globally diversified, drawing on hundreds of proprietary investment signals across various stocks and sectors. It typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity and equity-related instruments, with exposure to companies of any size, primarily in developed markets. Managed by a seasoned team, the fund seeks to deliver market-like returns but with lower volatility, and its structure potentially offers downside risk management, especially during bear markets. Launched in 2013, it stands out in the long-short equity category for its data-driven investment process and risk-aware positioning, making it a significant player in the landscape of nontraditional equity funds.
