About QLENX

AQR Long-Short Equity Fund is a mutual fund designed to deliver capital appreciation through a distinctive long-short equity strategy. Its primary purpose is to exploit opportunities in global equity markets by systematically taking long positions in stocks deemed likely to outperform and short positions in stocks expected to underperform. This approach seeks to generate positive returns that are less dependent on the direction of the broader equity market, aiming for market-like returns but with potentially lower risk due to its built-in downside risk management. The fund employs a systematic investment process that draws on hundreds of quantitative signals across sectors and regions, leveraging proprietary models and advanced machine-learning techniques. Its portfolio is highly diversified, holding thousands of securities while maintaining moderate net market exposure. Notably, the fund allocates a significant portion of assets to cash and U.S. Treasury bills, further emphasizing risk management and liquidity. AQR Long-Short Equity Fund plays a niche but important role in the alternative investments space, targeting both institutional and sophisticated investors seeking diversification beyond traditional equity-only funds. It is managed by an experienced team and is classified as a nontraditional equity fund, distinguishing itself through its global reach and systematic, research-driven methodology.
