How do I know if a Fund engages in Short Selling

Question

Almost all my investments are done through funds in my pension and the extent of my research into them is through the Fund fact sheets similar to the these.
How can I tell if I'm investing in short positions?

A mutual fund has a prospectus which along with a lot of other detailed information, it spells out the investment objectives and investment strategies that a fund can employ.
Many fund companies provide PDF versions of their prospectuses on their websites.
