RQSI FundSeeder Harvest Fund
With access to thousands of motived traders, the small number we seed are at the top of the heap, and we are constantly monitoring performance to find more to add.
RQSI Seeding History
Since the 1980s, RQSI has seeded and accelerated dozens of emerging managers. Our partnership with FundSeeder continues this legacy as we search for the next industry leaders. Scroll to see highlights of our allocation history.
1987
RQSI allocated $10 million to CRABEL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. At the time, Crabel was a new CTA managing $10 million in other accounts. RQSI was crucial in the systematization of Crabel's strategy, which manages over $5B today.
1993
RQSI seeded the CTA strategy of Yves Balcer and Sanjiv Kumar at FORT LP. Today, they manage over $1B in assets.
1994
RQSI seeded the CTA strategy of Scott Foster and DOMINION CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, who is still active and manages $135M in the same strategy.
1998
RQSI worked closely with Christopher Dean's stat arbitrage strategy VECTOR. Neil stuck with Vector through a challenging start, and the strategy went on to manage over $1.4B. Vector shows our foundational understanding of a strategy's efficacy.
2003
RQSI was the second investor in QIM, a CTA that now manages $1.2B.
2010
RQSI seeded BHR CAPITAL, a distressed debt and equity joint venture with Bay Harbour Management, in 2010 that managed $1.9B at its peak.
2010
RQSI allocated to QMS, a CTA that now manages $1.5B, but only had $30M when RQSI came to the table.
2022
RQSI returned to allocating to outside traders, launching its Eclectic Alts shareclass, which is composed of 7 emerging CTAs.
2024
RQSI acquired FundSeeder; now we are on the search for the next seeded managers that will grow to over $1B AUM.
