Category III AIF – Long Short

Navigate Market Cycles Through Long Short Alternative Investment Strategies

Equity markets are not predictable. Valuations go up and down, macro cycles change, and feelings often move faster than what is really happening. For investors who want growth but do not want to depend only on the market's direction, a Long Short strategy is a sensible option. AltPort Funds’ Category III Long Short AIF is designed for this goal—taking advantage of market chances while reducing risk. By being able to take both long and short positions, this strategy aims to make returns in all kinds of market situations. Long positions gain from strong businesses, while short positions help reduce risk or profit from companies that are overpriced or weak. The result is a portfolio made to provide stability, consistency, and better returns for the risk taken.

AltPort’s Long Short Strategy

AltPort uses a research-first way to create a good Long Short structure. Each long position is picked for strong earnings, ability to compete, and industry growth. Short positions are carefully tested to check business strength, weaknesses, valuation, and sensitivity to macro changes.

This mix makes a portfolio that fits market conditions but is protected from market swings.

Balanced risk through controlled hedges

Changing allocation based on industry changes, liquidity, and macro signs

By mixing growth positions with hedging, AltPort lowers the emotional stress of equity investing.
