I’m pleased to share RLH SPAC Fund’s Q1 2026 investor letter, which provides an update on performance and our current positioning.
More importantly, we outline what we believe is an increasingly compelling opportunity set in the SPAC market, driven by a meaningful dislocation between supply and transaction activity. In our view, this has created an environment where investors are being paid to wait, with attractive yields and embedded optionality.

@Abe2948 I've been pushing the brokers on bcar, will do on bbcq. Clear that the bar is higher for SPACs than typical equities, but the more shareholders, the easier it will be to get them listed. CEPT took a while but finally got done
$BCAR / Exascale Labs S-4 Filed

Re: options, waiting for exchanges to process current number of shareholders. That's the gating item for most of these SPAC option requests
$BCAR options are being reviewed for the shareholder requirement nest week
Assuming it meets the 2,000 shareholder requirement potential to see listing the following week
Weekly US IPO Volume Set for Highest Since 2021: ECM Watch
I've always said for SPACs to "be back" we need to see a broader capital markets recovery - IPOs, direct listings, M&A, etc.
This is a welcome development - although we are always one tweet away from a dramatic shift

WLAC trading 80%+ over trust and close to closing... Neocloud stock prices are all going wild.
What could trade up next? Maybe $BCAR and their merger partner Exascale Labs. They are in the neocloud / ai infra space along with Boost Run (WLAC partner)
$BCAR now trades at $10.48 vs $10.27 cash in trust (2% premium)
$CAEP Just a reminder that they are adding 15c at the time of redemption
3/31/26 - 10Q (filed last night) shows $10.30 of cash in trust as of 3/31
However, if you look at the Proxy it states $10.45 inclusive of the 15c as of 3/31
We estimate ~4c of additional accrual from 3/31 to the 5/12 vote date
Key risk is the transaction not closing in which case we estimated YTW of ~4%
SPAC IPO $CAIIU $10.05/18m/0.5W traded down on its IPO today
There are 6 SPAC IPOs trying to price tonight:
$FTHAU - BTIG
$RREVU - Cohen
$WENC/U - EBC
$MCAHU - D. Boral
$GCGRU - Citi
$ARCLU - ARC
We continue to focus on the cadence of new issuance (72) vs. transaction announcements (25) YTD and reiterate the importance of selectivity.
@JasonSTLxYz@stepnotonpets I would guess they flip public in a few weeks. This is becoming increasingly popular, look at $CAEP and how quickly they went from public filing to effective.
