Overview
RQSI was founded in 1996 and is now organized as a Kentucky corporation. Neil Ramsey (the
“Principal”) is the founder/owner of RQSI and the CEO/Chief Investment Officer of RQSI. Mr.
Ramsey is responsible for the management of the strategies employed by RQSI and is supported
by a team of investment and operational professionals.
RQSI serves as the investment manager and provides discretionary advisory services to the
following private funds: RQSI Global Asset Allocation Master Fund, Ltd. (the “GAA Fund”) and
qubit Diversified Alternative Yield Fund, LP (the “qubit DAY Fund”). RQSI also provides
discretionary investment advisory services to separately managed accounts (the “Managed
Accounts”, together with the GAA Fund and the qubit DAY Fund, the “Client” or “Clients”).
RQSI may, in the future, organize additional investment vehicles or provide investment advisory
services to other accounts that follow an investment strategy similar to or different from the
investment program of the Funds.
The GAA Fund’s investment objective is attractive capital appreciation that is not correlated with
the performance of the general securities markets. The GAA Fund seeks to achieve this objective
by committing a portion of its capital to the investment discretion of RQSI, which employs its
proprietary quantitative and discretionary trading strategies in making trading decisions for the
GAA Fund across multiple share classes. In light of the differences in the specific trading
strategies among the share classes, each share class has a distinct “risk/reward” profile where it
can be expected that the investment results of a particular share class will differ from those of other
share classes. Although the share classes with the GAA Fund are not separate and distinct legal
entities, an investor in a particular share class participates only in the investment results of that
share classes, not
in the investment results of the other share classes (unless such investor invests
in such other share classes). More details about these individual share classes are available in the
Governing Documents of the GAA Fund.
Launched in 2020, the qubit DAY Fund leverages RQSI’s experience in developing investment
strategies based on econometric, quantitative and technical trading factors and identifying outside
investment managers offering distinctive trading programs. The qubit DAY Fund integrates these
skills to create a diversified set of high-yield-strategy return streams based on different liquidity
profiles. Each investment allocation will seek capital preservation and consistent generation of
current income using a disciplined emphasis on fundamental credit analysis, risk control, and loss
avoidance.
This strategy will seek diversified sources of return from the following primary sources:
• Liquid Public Market Yield Oriented Strategies
• Specialty Finance
• Direct Lending
Supported by an Investment Advisory Committee with veteran credit executives, allocations to the
various yield sources are managed to reasonably ensure no single source contributes
disproportionally to total portfolio risk. The result is a diversified source of yield-like income that
is designed to be less susceptible to (rising-rate) market environments and business cycle
fluctuations. The qubit DAY Fund is available in an onshore fund structure.
Investment restrictions for the GAA Fund, qubit DAY Fund, and/or Managed Accounts, if any,
are generally established in the applicable GAA Fund’s, qubit DAY Fund’s, or Managed
Account’s confidential offering memorandum and/or other applicable governing agreements
(collectively, the “Governing Documents”).
As of December 31, 2023, RQSI has estimated discretionary regulatory assets under management
of approximately $836.6 million.
