Pairs Trading

Originally, a portfolio management technique based on a classic hedge: a manager looks at stocks in pairs, buying the one he expects to perform best and selling short the one he expects to underperform. The concept has been generalized to accommodate long and short portfolios with different performance expectations. Also called Long-Short Portfolio. See also Market Netural Investment Strategy.
