Strategies
Compare how each family seeks an edge, controls directional exposure, and behaves under real implementation constraints.
Core idea
Market-neutral trading strategies combine offsetting exposures so the portfolio targets a chosen relationship, pricing gap, hedge, or allocation rule instead of relying mainly on the market rising or falling.
Implementation
The edge must remain after financing, borrow, trading, and rebalancing costs.
Primary risk
Hidden factor exposure can leave a portfolio directional even when its cash notionals appear balanced.
