Short Sellers Making A Comeback? Hedge Fund Launches New Multi-Manager Short Strategy

Little Harbor Advisors is launching a multi-manager, short-only hedge fund that aims to tap into the “heightened uncertainty and mounting systemic risk” it expects to trigger the next bear market. The fund’s Short Alpha Composite II strategy will look at fundamentals, volatility and technical when deciding which stocks to target.

The first Short Alpha Composite strategy was shuttered in 2011 after launching in 2007 and generating what management said was “outsized returns.”
