Schroders Launches US Equity Long/short Fund Managed By Select Equity Group

The fund is a UCITS version of SEG's flagship long/short US equity strategy, which launched in 1998 and had over $9.4bn AUM as of December 2022. 

It will launch through a merger to accommodate a transfer of shareholders from the firm's existing Select Equity Long Short UCITS sub-fund.

Andrew Dreaneen, head of alternatives at Schroders, said: "This strategy's fiercely independent research approach and quality-focused investment philosophy, makes it an excellent addition to the Schroder GAIA platform. 

"We remain committed to providing investors with access to high-quality alternative managers in a liquid and regulated format."
