RHO Investments
Assymetric returns and capital preservation
A multi-strategy absolute return and weekly liquidity fund whose objective is to generate equity returns with a fraction of the volatility. It achieves this through the experience of its managers and the flexibility of its mandate, being able to invest in stocks, bonds, derivatives or interest rates depending on what is most attractive and cheapest at different times of the economic cycle.
Substrategies
The investment team focuses on finding assets with asymmetric risk-return profiles and allocates resources to six substrategies:
- ACTIVE: using statistical and technical models, investment opportunities are sought in the very short term, up to a maximum of one week.
- MACRO: It anticipates and capitalizes on trend changes occurring in the main financial asset classes through an analysis of fundamental and technical variables.
- MICRO: direct positions in misspriced values according to historical standards or our valuation models based on fundamental analysis and specific sector analysis.
- RELATIVE VALUE: A combination of long and short positions, meaning buying undervalued securities and selling those that are overvalued, with the goal that over time the relative valuations between both assets will converge to levels closer to their theoretical fair price. Thanks to the combination of both positions, the investment pairing offers lower risk compared to directional investments (MICRO and MACRO).
- SPECIAL SITUATIONS: investments based on the anticipation of corporate events, such as M&A, share buybacks, liability and hybrid capital optimization, corporate restructurings, and bankruptcy/insolvency processes.
- DEEP VALUE: investments in assets whose value is tied to relative illiquidity or that require a significant period of time to reach the intrinsic value of the investment (such as a full economic cycle, IPO, etc.).
