Which of the following hedge fund strategies is most similar to Smith’s strategy?

选项：

A.Pair trading strategy.

D.Event-driven strategy.

解释：

Global macro strategies take long and short positions based on expectations regarding fundamental changes in global capital markets. The manager in this scenario is engaging in a carry trade by taking a long position in a high-yielding currency (euros) and a short position in a low-yielding currency (Swiss Francs). The manager also expects a fundamental change in the exchange rate between the currencies. Managed futures strategies have a similar philosophy but use futures rather than the underlying assets to execute the strategy.
