Chanos & Co Equity Long / Short Fund
The Chanos & Co Equity Long / Short fund is a daily liquidity UCITS fund managed by Green Ash but sub-advised by Chanos & Co. It is a unique long / short strategy with a variable net (+/-40%) exposure. Alpha is generated on the short side and risk-managed with passive long positions. The strategy aims to create short alpha from Jim Chanos’ +37 year track record in fundamental research. It is designed for all market environments but thrives in challenging times when investors need it the most. The strategy aims to add value in a portfolio context due to its low correlation with equity markets and lower beta vs. most L/S funds.
