About Us
Objective
Rhino Investment Partners employs a fundamental, bottom-up stock-selection investment process, specializing in the Banking sector. Banks are a large opportunity set, with an investable universe of over 500 names. Our deep understanding of bank earnings drives the selection of undervalued names in the portfolio. Central to our fundamental analysis is identifying banks that have positive operating leverage and improving Net Interest Margins (NIM). Complementing this financial analysis, we identify potential M&A targets.
Philosophy/Process
We believe superior investment returns are achieved by applying a value-based investment approach to the Banking sector. We identify undervalued financial companies with identifiable catalysts trading at a discount to normalized earnings. The lack of sell-side research in the small-cap banking sector leads to mispricing in equity markets and creates opportunities for above-market returns.
