Long/Short Equity

A hedge fund strategy that involves buying certain stocks long and selling others short. There usually isn't a restriction on the country that the stocks trade in either.

Investopedia Commentary

This type of hedge fund basically has free reign to buy or sell what it likes. A long/short equity hedge fund is usually considered to be higher risk.
