ankurwa10 Did not get this. should this not be true for market neutral funds. Intuitively, it should end up giving you what the market makes?
birdperson market-neutral shoot for a beta of 0, so if they make what the market makes (which has beta of 1) it would be a solid investment (considering its role in a portfolio)
