PROPRIETARY STRATEGIES. COMPOUNDING SUCCESS.
Relay Race Investments is a trademark that Cristian J. Merino Madrid has applied to register. Cristian intends to use this trademark for an investment vehicle in which he would serve as the portfolio manager, utilizing his proprietary event-driven strategies.
Specific investment details will not be disclosed until regulatory approval for the investment vehicle has been obtained.
EVENT DRIVEN TRADING STRATEGIES.
Since December 4, 2020, Cristian has been executing trades in his personal account using his proprietary event-driven strategies. He employs nine different approaches across six types of corporate events: capital raises, mergers and acquisitions, analyst estimates, short reports, insider/fund investments, and quarterly/annual results.
He focuses on US small-cap stocks with a holding period of 1-2 days. The concept of ‘Relay Race’ represents stocks acting as runners, sprinting during their opportune moments and seamlessly passing the baton to the next one in a repeatable process.
During this period, Cristian’s personal account has achieved an impressive 73% annualized return with a maximum drawdown of -21%. During market downturns, tradable events tend to increase, allowing his strategies to decorrelate from broader market movements and effectively self-hedge.
