BTG Pactual Is Positioned For An Aggressive Fed Hiking And QT Cycle
The BTG Pactual Rates Fund returned -0.17% for the first quarter, following returns of 0.14%, 0.19%, and -0.5% for January, February and March, respectively.

They believe it's impossible to understate the re-pricing that occurred over the relatively short timeframe.
