Mentioned: PGIM QMA Long-Short Equity Z (F00000SZ4O)

Gretchen Rupp: One fund we're watching is Prudential QMA Long-Short Equity. The fund's track record since May 2014 is relatively short, but the team's quantitative model has been used to successfully short stocks since 2006.

QMA is an independent subsidiary of Prudential, and its strategies hold more than $100 billion in quantitatively managed assets, including index funds. The firm has more than 50 professionals with about 20 Ph.D.s.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
