A founding partner of the investment advisory firm Selkirk Management, Stewart Strawbridge possesses more than two decades of experience in equity strategies. Beyond his work in asset management, Stewart Strawbridge is an active philanthropist and a proponent of integrative health care and wellness. He and his wife opened the holistic health initiative Good Medicine Collective, which hosts meditation and yoga classes in Portland, Maine.
Through the combination of physical movement and philosophical beliefs, yoga adherents can develop character traits often associated with resilience, including self-awareness, emotional stability, and self-discipline. Many yoga poses are designed to promote feelings of empowerment and confidence. In yoga, the mentally destabilizing nature of not remaining in the present moment can be felt physically. For example, to achieve balance in the Warrior II pose, a yogi must keep his or her head and shoulders centered. Metaphorically, leaning back or forward represents thinking too much about the past or the future. With practice, this movement can train practitioners to remain mentally centered and present in their everyday lives.

Stewart Strawbridge is an experienced wealth management professional who has served as managing member of Selkirk Partners since co-founding the firm in 2008. Under Stewart Strawbridge’s direction, Selkirk focuses on a global long-short equity investment strategy.
In brief, the term “long-short” applies to any equity strategy that involves taking long investment positions in undervalued stocks that should appreciate in worth, while concurrently taking short investment positions in overvalued stocks that should decrease in worth. Long-short equity strategies are particularly popular among hedge funds, which often take a market-neutral approach that distributes capital equally between the long and short categories. Other hedge funds take a more conservative long-short investment approach with a relatively long bias. A good example of this is the 130/30 strategy, which divides assets under management into 130 percent long positions and 30 percent short positions. Like other investment strategies, the long-short approach offers potential diversification through the business sector, market geography, and specific value and growth goals. |
