Time period for a "long" stock hold

Hello,

I am looking at a long / short equity fund, and I was trying to understand how long a hold time period looks like? Is it traditionally one year, two years, more? 

I am currently working on a stock pitch, but I think it would not be worthwhile until a 10 year hold period. I cannot tell if that is too long for a "long" position and the recommendation would be not invest?
