RINAUDOCAPITAL
The Mandate

Few things,
known well.

Rinaudo Capital runs a concentrated book of public equities, held for years rather than quarters. Conviction is built in the open, tested by the desk, and recorded in full. What follows is how a thesis becomes a position.

How conviction becomes a position
1
Thesis
The case

A name is put forward with a written argument. Specific, falsifiable, and short enough to defend in two sentences.

2
Ballot
The desk votes

The desk weighs in — buy, hold, or sell. Conviction has to survive a crowd before it touches capital.

3
Conviction
Sized to belief

Winning theses are sized to the strength of the vote, not to a model. Strong belief earns weight; doubt earns patience.

4
The Book
On the record

The position enters the book, marked daily and visible to every member. Held until the thesis breaks or the price does the work.

Horizon
Decades, not quarters.

We measure positions in years. A book that turns over slowly compounds quietly; one that churns pays the spread to everyone but itself. Time in a good name beats timing a great one.

Concentration
Conviction over coverage.

A handful of names we understand deeply will always beat a hundred we hold by reflex. Diversification is a hedge against ignorance; we would rather remove the ignorance.

Patience
Doing nothing is a position.

Most days the right trade is no trade. Cash is a holding with optionality, and the discipline to wait for the obvious is the edge that survives every cycle.

Transparency
Every position, on the record.

Each call is timestamped and public — entries, exits, wins, and losses alike. A track record you can audit is the only kind worth keeping.

We are not paid to be busy. We are paid to be right, slowly.
