Investment Strategies
At Martlet Fund McGill, we dive deep into three core strategy pods. These themes mirror real hedge fund investing styles and give students hands-on experience building portfolios, developing trade ideas, and defending their theses in live reviews.
Event Driven
Our Event-Driven investing focuses on market opportunities created by corporate actions, industry shifts and geofinancial movements. The key is that these events often cause temporary mispricings or volatility in a company’s stock price.
This theme gives students a window into how news, timing, and deal mechanics can directly impact markets, and how professionals take advantage of short-term opportunities.
Arbitrage
Our Arbitrage strategy aims to profit from price inefficiencies between related assets. This strategy does not focus on market direction rather the backbone is the convergence of a deep understanding of financial instruments and logic.
By exploring arbitrage, students gain insight into how financial markets are priced, how inefficiencies arise, and how sophisticated investors structure trades that exploit small but meaningful gaps in valuation.
Long / Short
Equity
Long/Short Equity investing is one of the most widely used hedge fund strategies. This strategy encourages deep fundamental analysis, relative valuation, and a strong grasp of industry dynamics.
Understanding Long/Short Equities helps students learn to think like investors, not just about what’s worth buying, but also what’s worth avoiding or betting against.
