Patton Fund Management, Inc. manages the Patton Edge Strategy. This is a U.S. stock hedging strategy, often referred to as a long short strategy or long short equity strategy, similar to those utilized in hedge funds.

The Patton Edge Strategy is not a hedge fund. Unlike a hedge fund, it is designed for separately managed accounts. The Patton Edge Strategy is designed to offer many of the benefits of a hedge fund without many of the drawbacks. The hedge fund industry and some hedge fund managers have faced a great deal of scrutiny for many reasons including the lack of transparency, fee structures, and more. These are not issues for the Patton Edge Strategy.
