ICON Advisers and Research magazine invite financial advisors to listen to a recording of the October 4 web seminar "A Strategy for Up, Down and Sideways Markets" with Craig T. Callahan, founder and president, ICON Advisers, Inc.
Shorting stocks in companies and industries that have become overpriced may help protect your clients against big market declines and enhance portfolio returns. And in today's market setting, an active long/short strategy may be worth considering.
When the market begins to reach fair value and stocks become overpriced, ICON believes the ability to play both long and short sides can add alpha, and ICON Advisers has five years of experience in managing a long/short portfolio.
This free web seminar explores the features of a long/short strategy and contrast the strategy of long/short mutual funds with hedge funds. It includes a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of investing both short and long, and how a long/short portfolio can adapt when the market goes up, down or sideways.
