It is better to choose a long/short fund manager rather than a traditional buy and hold equities manager, according to research house van Eyk's 2007 Sector Overview.

Long/short managers were seen as more attractive to investors because they could hold onto assets like traditional equity managers but could also short stocks to shield against falling prices, van Eyk's co-head of research Jerome Lander said.
