## Resource

As equity markets become increasingly concentrated, investors are seeking strategies to diversify their exposures. Long-short strategies are one way to achieve this diversification while potentially capturing higher returns by building a portfolio that seeks to overweight winning stocks and short losing stocks. On today’s episode, Aaron Mulvihill is joined by Susan Bao, Portfolio Manager for the U.S. Equity Group, as they discuss the history of long-short strategies, why today’s environment has brought renewed interest in these strategies and where these types of strategies fit within investor portfolios.
