RenTec does use a lot of leverage, but they only can do it because there Sharpe ratio ((return-riskfree)/volatility) is over 7x. This means that if there fund had a unlevered return of 3.5% then their vol would be 0.5%. Let’s say their risk limit is to cap vol at 10%, this means that their theoretical return would be 70%. It doesn’t exactly work like this because of volatility drag.
