AQR Long-Short Equity Fund I (QLEIX) is an attractive large-cap allocation. QLEIX is a Long Short - Equity fund, and these funds aim to minimize exposure to the broader market, taking long positions in equities that are expected to appreciate and short positions in equities that are projected to decline.
