RAB fund still paying the price
RAB Capital’s struggling Special Situations fund looks to have recorded a positive return in 2009, but after a bumper year for the industry it is still paying the price for the investments it made in illiquid assets before the credit crisis.
Having seen their investment lose around half its value in 2008 while much of the fund’s money was in hard-to-sell assets, the fund’s investors agreed in autumn ’08 to lock up their money for 3 years in return for a cut in fees.
