Companies are rigorously screened and ranked weekly, with position sizes adjusted based on relative attractiveness and ongoing due diligence. The goal is to maintain a diversified portfolio of 20–30 stocks that align with the firm’s value and recovery-driven investment approach.

Options strategies may be used to enhance returns on equity positions.

Rainwater Equity, LLC launched the Rainwater Equity ETF (Ticker: RW), an actively managed solution reflecting a focused portfolio of recurring revenue businesses led by exceptional management teams for the long run. The manager believes these businesses typically offer more durable growth, fewer surprises, and greater long-term wealth creation potential.
