Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Rafferty Asset Management?
The firm has not publicly named a CIO or portfolio manager beyond regulatory signatories. Form ADV filings list a compliance officer and principal executive whose names are not widely associated with public investment commentary. The decision-making process likely relies on a quantitative model rather than a single named operator.
Is Rafferty Asset Management structured as a family office or an asset manager?
It operates as a traditional SEC-registered investment advisor (RIA) with no disclosed connection to a family fortune. Its structure is institutional, serving pooled investment vehicles and separately managed accounts, not a single family's capital.
What investment strategies does Rafferty Asset Management employ?
The firm uses quantitative, factor-based strategies across US equities, international equities, and taxable fixed income. Its mutual funds include US large-cap core, international equity, and bond funds, all following a bottom-up, systematic approach rooted in market-cap weighting and multi-factor screening.
Does Rafferty Asset Management make direct investments or co-investments?
No. The firm's known portfolio is limited to publicly traded securities held through long-only mutual funds and separate accounts. There is no public record of direct private equity, venture, or co-investment activity.
Where does the underlying wealth at Rafferty Asset Management come from?
The firm's capital base comes from institutional investors and retail clients via mutual funds, not from a single family. Its wealth origin is not tied to any publicly known family or individual fortune.
How does Rafferty Asset Management source proprietary deal flow?
The firm does not pursue proprietary deal flow. As a quantitative asset manager, it sources investments through its systematic screening models applied to public market securities. There is no evidence of direct relationships with private companies or entrepreneurs.
What is the firm's known posture on geographic exposure?
Rafferty Asset Management's geographic footprint is primarily US-centric, with some allocation to developed international markets. The firm's mutual fund lineup includes a global equity fund that invests in non-US developed markets, but emerging markets are not a focus based on the firm's filings.
