VarCov Co., founded by Robert Giannini, provides investment advisory services to institutional investors. VarCov aims to generate attractive returns by investing in publicly traded securities globally, using a systematic equity market neutral strategy. They identify potential winners and losers within the traded universe. VarCov may tailor its advisory services to a client's investment objectives, but clients generally cannot restrict investments in specific financial instruments.
VarCov generally charges a quarterly, asset-based management fee equal to a percentage of the assets in a client's account. The specific fees are subject to negotiation based on factors like the size and complexity of the account, and the relationship with the client. VarCov may also be reimbursed for a portion of its organizational and operating expenses.
