Rhino provides investment advice primarily with respect to equity securities listed on a recognized exchange.
Rhino’s investment strategies are primarily focused on equity securities of companies that are believed to be
undervalued relative to their potential worth. Equity securities may include common and preferred stocks,
securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants and may trade and invest actively in both U.S.
and non-U.S. markets. There is no minimum or maximum capitalization requirement for the companies in which
a
Client strategy may invest. Our investment strategy may also invest in other securities, including bonds, notes,
bills and debt instruments, and derivative instruments, as well as options, futures contracts and options on
futures contracts.
For the purpose of the SEC’s Custody Rule, Rule 206(4)-2, we are considered to have custody because we are
