Investment Strategies

Our strategies and solutions are calibrated to support institutional engagement in digital assets.

Multi-Strategy Solution

Our multi-strategy solution seeks to monetize distinct return sources from digital assets through a single structure. This solution’s sub-strategies may include quantitative strategies and yield-focused strategies, and may selectively deploy capital into new strategies focused on potential arbitrage and dislocation opportunities. Capital allocations will change based on the opportunity set, and are governed by a risk management framework to guard against extreme tails. This solution supports quarterly withdrawals.

Investments in Virtual Currencies, Virtual Currency Derivatives, or Digital Assets are speculative and have unique risks including but not limited to, (i) that they are not legal tender in the United States and as such the value is based on the agreement of the parties in the transaction, (ii) the price of a virtual currency is based on the perceived value of the virtual currency and subject to changes in sentiment, which make these products highly volatile potentially subject to rapid and substantial price movements which could result in significant losses, (iii) the lack of a centralized pricing source poses valuation challenges for market participants trying to exit a position, particularly during periods of stress, (iv) a cybersecurity event which could result in a substantial, immediate, and irreversible loss for market participants that trade virtual currencies, (v) virtual currency balances are generally maintained as an address on the blockchain and are accessed through private keys, which may be held by a market participant or a custodian, (vi) the lack of regulatory oversight creates a risk that a virtual currency exchange may not hold sufficient virtual currencies and funds to satisfy its obligations and that such deficiency may not be easily identified or discovered resulting in significant losses, (vii) currently virtual currencies face an uncertain regulatory landscape in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions and laws, these changing regulations or directives may impact the price of virtual currencies, (viii) the new and rapidly evolving technology underlying virtual currencies could also have adverse implications for investors, (ix) many virtual currencies allow market participants to introduce fees which may not be defined or known adding to the cost on a pass through basis to investors. None of the aforementioned products have an active secondary market. A lack of an active secondary market could mean investors are unable to redeem subscriptions at prices at or near NAV, especially in distressed market conditions. It could also mean the value of investments could change suddenly and unpredictably, or that reported NAV may not be as certain as for other types of investments with active secondary markets.

Digital Indices

Our index strategies are calibrated to the Coinbase Core Index (COINCORE) and the Coinbase Size Tilt Index (COINTILT) benchmarks. 

The Coinbase Core Index (COINCORE) tracks a dynamic core basket of the most liquid and fundamentally sound digital assets weighted by market capitalization.

The Coinbase Size Tilt Index (COINTILT) weights the assets in the Core Index by the square root of market capitalization, tilting towards constituents of a smaller market capitalization. 

The Coinbase Broad Index (COINB) is a benchmark, and is not investible. COINB provides a comprehensive view of the digital asset universe by tracking a wide array of assets. The Index focuses exclusively on fundamental screening, not the readiness to scale to institutional investors.

  • Our indices take a systematic, rules-based approach to reconstitution by applying fundamental, regulatory, and liquidity filters.

  • MarketVector Indices is the Benchmark Administrator, incorporated in Germany and registered with the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

  • Stablecoin and privacy assets are excluded.
