"RLH SPAC Fund sees the current market as approaching an inflection point with the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities since inception. Elevated SPAC issuance outpacing transactions has created yield widening to 5% levels with protected downside and free optionality."
Executive Summary
RLH SPAC Fund returned 1.2% in Q1 2026, driven by yield widening across the SPAC universe that improved forward return potential. The fund believes the current SPAC market represents one of the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities since inception, with elevated issuance outpacing transaction activity creating meaningful dislocations. Despite market volatility from geopolitical developments, SPAC issuance remained robust with 62 IPOs raising $11.7bn, the most active quarter since Q4 2021. The key opportunity is that investors are now being paid to wait, earning attractive yields around 5% with capital protection while retaining upside optionality. The fund highlighted GSR IV Acquisition Corp as representative of current opportunities, offering 5% yield to worst with potential for higher returns if transactions complete earlier. With over 80% of SPAC IPOs unprofitable at current financing costs, the manager expects further repricing to create more attractive entry points. The fund is actively deploying capital into this opportunity set.
