Concentrated Equity Solutions

RJA offers bespoke solutions designed to help investors effectively manage concentrated stock holdings. Our approach and strategy design ensures your portfolio remains aligned with your investment goals while taking into consideration yield enhancement, risk diversification, and the realization of capital gains and losses

Rja is a firm based on the belief that asset markets are efficient

Advanced Capital on Equity (ACE)

  • ACE allows clients to efficiently generate unrestricted cash from large, concentrated, and/or low cost-basis equity holdings at competitive rates
  • ACE is an SMA-based solution in which the client retains custody of their stock, receives all dividends, and has full transparency into their account
  • Bespoke strategy construction allows for capped equity upside participation and downside protection while mitigating margin call risk

Hedging Strategies

RJA designs hedging strategies that carefully balance the tradeoffs between risk, return, and cost while enhancing long-term risk-adjusted returns.

VOLEXITY HEDGE STRATEGY

  • An “always-on”, low-carry tail risk hedge that capitalizes on the convex relationship between equity implied volatility and market returns during severe market declines
  • Captures the following phenomena that often occur during large and sustained market selloffs:
  • Strong, negative correlation between equity index returns and option-implied volatility
  • Inversion of the equity-implied volatility surface as short-dated volatilities rapidly increase
  • Strategy performance is driven by prudently balancing the three “C”s of tail-risk hedge construction: costs, convexity, and correlation

Return-Seeking Strategies

Exposure to private equity, global equity, and volatility risk premia can be achieved at scale using highly liquid, exchange-traded options while controlling undesirable risks on the downside.

PutWrite Select Strategy

  • Actively managed S&P 500 Index put writing strategy built on a flexible, robust framework that is designed to collect the most Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) possible per unit of collateral held
  • Our proprietary algorithm enables the strategy to collect additional VRP while reducing drawdown risk during periods of market tumult
  • Mitigates the pitfalls of passive, rules-based put writing indices - such as market timing and single-strike selection risk - while avoiding unnecessary layers of complexity found in many active strategies

Customized Solutions

Many of RJA’s strategies start when a client’s needs are not being met by currently available products and providers. When this occurs, RJA collaborates with our clients to design bespoke investment solutions that meet their unaddressed investment goals and/or unique constraints.

Client-directed Strategies

  • We turn our client’s vision into thoughtfully constructed investable strategies, transforming their ideas and directives into implementable investments through a collaborative process that refines, packages, and executes on their investment objectives
