CSH Seeks to Deliver Competitive Yields and Equity Upside Opportunity Backed by Cash-Equivalent Collateral
All portfolios need low volatility cash-equivalent investments to provide safety and liquidity
Investors have typically relied on money markets, collateral such as T-bills and other short-term fixed income investments to generate safe returns with low volatility.
Since 2020, money market and collateral such as T-bills yields have been essentially zero, averaging between 0.05% and 0.10%
Requiring a nearly $5million investment to generate enough interest to cover your daily coffee and donuts for a year.
$5,000,000
...but by actively trading certain companies which are required to at all times hold T-bills and other safe assets as collateral, that also contain embedded equity options that can be extremely valuable, CSH seeks to generate meaningful returns while maintaining cash-equivalent collateralization.
CSH only invests in a subset of equity securities called “pre-combination SPAC’s” which are required by regulation to hold only short-term cash-equivalent instruments. CSH seeks to capture and preserve the benefit of “pre-combination SPAC” collateralization through portfolio selection and monitoring by selling or redeeming units and shares which no longer provide cash-equivalent collateralization.
SPAC founders often launch companies in search of the big thing in electric vehicles, power generation, clean energy, space travel, and lots of other ventures, BUT, before they get there, all the investor money is held by bank or other custodians in T-bills or similar safe investments.
typically from 12 months to 2 years
CSH monitors the IPOs and market prices of all SPAC companies which are in-between their IPO and their becoming a company of the future
CSH invests during this planning or acquisition period, when the company is required to hold investor’s money in safe collateral
CSH will sell its shares prior to any business combination, which could be risky, or redeem for its share of the T-bill collateral held in trust. CSH may hold small warrant positions.
typically from 12 months to 2 years
CSH selects issues based in large part on the relationship between their current stock price and the value of the collateral held by their bank or custodian.
CSH then seeks to maximize the value of the embedded equity options to produce additional return.
CSH evalutes each issue relative to its underlying collateral and relative to every other issue, and re-calibrates its portfolio continuously to try to optimize its risk-return.
