Diversifying strategies based on portfolio needs

When constructing a portfolio, it's crucial to consider various strategies like equity long short, event-driven, macro, and relative value based on their specific roles - return consistency, return enhancement, diversification, or downside protection. The equity portfolio is for growth, while the bonds offer diversification and protection. Macro strategies could serve as return generators, especially in trend following. Multi-strategy funds, though popular, may lack clear allocation focus within these categories.
