Global Macro Long/Short

Main Management's Long/Short strategy uses over 130 years of global markets expertise from our investment committee and advisory board. Long and short positions are established simultaneously in highly correlated ETFs that have experienced a recent divergence in price, pair-trade non-correlated sectors, styles, and asset classes, and option premium harvesting when risk/reward analysis warrants. The Portfolio Manager will operate within a band of plus/minus 20% net long/short on an ongoing basis and will employ leverage when deemed necessary. The process includes top down and bottom up fundamental analysis as well as technical analysis. Benchmark is the HFRX Absolute Return Index. Inception: May 2008
