RP Investment Advisors

RP Investment Advisors (RPIA) is an employee-owned hedge fund management firm that focuses on absolute return fixed-income strategies and interest-rate risk management. The firm was founded in 2009 by a group of partners who each have more than 20 years of international and debt market experience. Senior partners include Andrew Pringle (chairman), Michael Quinn (CIO), and Richard Pilosof (CEO), previously the head of global fixed income at RBC Capital Markets. Additionally, the firm has an advisory group inclusive of Chuck Winograd, former CEO of RBC Capital Markets. RPIA launched its first strategy, RP Debt Opportunities, in September 2009 with approximately $25 million of partners’ capital. A second mandate, RP Fixed Income Plus, was launched in 2010 through managed accounts, and a similar strategy followed in August 2013 through RP Corporate Index Plus Fund, an unconstrained fund for institutions seeded with $200 million from a Canadian University pension and endowment. Most recently, RPIA formed its newest strategy, RP Select Opportunities, an extension of RP Debt Opportunities with a focus on non-investment grade fixed-income securities. Today, the firm provides fixed income solutions for family offices, foundations, and pensions in Canada. RPIA focuses on publicly traded global corporate bonds. Through an actively managed and trading-orientated investment process, the firm has developed alternative fixed income solutions for its clients utilizing its expertise in this segment of the market.
