question on net long/net short position mechanics
I Have perhaps a stupid questions regarding hedge funds net long/ net short exposure.
How can a fund have a zero net long exposure (market neutral) ? Shouldn't they maintain a maintenance margin with their broker for the stock borrowed? Is this just sitting in cash? additionally, if a fund is short only, what do they do with the cash they receive when going short?
