Short selling and “reverse torpedoes” – how they can help a long only asset manager

Good Morning,

Short selling and “reverse torpedoes” – how they can help a long only asset manager

With so many pockets of swollen short selling catching so many headlines how can a long only fund manager take advantage of this? With the US defense secretary stepping down it seems a good time to use a military phrase that sums up a profitable strategy for this community. “Reverse torpedoes” was a term coined by Deutsche Bank to describe the art of buying shares in companies that are heavily shorted with the aim of capturing a profit when these firms rebound in price. We have zeroed in on research by DB’s quant team to highlight this phenomenon and explain how traditional asset managers can exploit a jump in price that is 1.5 times more likely than chance.
