Portfolio Analysis
Updated July 2026
July 2026 — Monthly Update

Arudha Equity Long-Short Fund runs a mixed short book — hedged positions paired with equity longs, plus 4.13% in naked directional shorts across 7 futures contract(s). These represent direct bets on specific stocks or indices falling in price.

Net long exposure of 89.9% reflects partial but not complete market hedging. Investors get reduced market beta versus a long-only fund, combined with potential alpha from both long and short stock selection. Options short book (0.00%) adds further positioning.
