The Fund

An Irish Domiciled
UCITS fund.

A Fund from an experienced team using a tried and tested investment process

The QSM Global Equity Long / Short Fund’s investment objective is to generate positive returns on a five-year rolling basis.

It aims to achieve this by primarily investing in liquid equity or equity linked securities using a value-based investment approach, integrating both micro and macro analysis.

Variable Net Exposure

Net exposure will vary through the cycle, depending on the risk/reward trade-offs prevailing at the time. Net exposure will be affected by both micro and macro views.

Limited Gross Exposure

Gross exposure will usually be relatively low. The Fund aims to drive returns via stock selection and portfolio positioning as opposed to leverage.

Micro / Macro Framework

Focus on both bottom-up fundamentals and top-down macro factors. Integrate micro and macro into a coherent view to inform both stock selection and overall portfolio positioning.

Daily dealing

All the Fund’s share classes offer daily dealing.

Long Term View

Markets are increasingly inefficient with respect to time. The Fund’s typical investment horizon for long positions is 5 years and for short positions 2-3 years.

Value focus

Investigate risk /reward trade-offs. Typical long position: cash flow expectations are too low, valuation is low. Typical short position: cash flow expectations are too high, valuation is high.

Highly Liquid

A key risk control is being able to liquidate positions rapidly.
