Our Long/Short Strategy
The Cromwell Long Short Fund* seeks capital appreciation while trying to achieve lower volatility than the broad equity market.
Mutual of America Capital Management employs its fundamental and quantitative research to construct the Fund’s portfolio. Primarily investing in large and mid-capitalization equities, the Fund generally holds long positions in companies that appear to be undervalued or have superior growth potential relative to its peers. Short positions are held in companies where the opposite is true, or to capture a specific risk identified in the market. Importantly, the Fund engages in short sales of securities for hedging purposes and to profit from an anticipated decline in the price of the securities sold short.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund maintains long positions at approximately 80% of its net assets, which may range between 80% to 100% of net assets, and its short positions at approximately 20%, which may range between 10% to 30% of its net assets, consistent with the Sub-Advisor’s expectations of investment opportunities within the equity market.
