Investment Objectives

The investment objective of the Arrow Long/Short Alternative Class is to achieve superior capital appreciation over both short and long term horizons primarily through the selection and management of a concentrated group of long and short positions in Canadian equity securities and equity derivative securities. The Fund will use leverage. The leverage will be created through the use of cash borrowings, short sales and derivative contracts.

Investment Strategy

Equities - The Fund will invest its assets primarily in publicly listed Canadian equity securities, although the Fund will also invest in companies domiciled outside of Canada. The Portfolio Advisor will have a variable bias and will generally look to include both long and short positions in the Fund’s portfolio. Global sector trades, including pairs trading, trades based on events and special situations will also be utilised.
