Objective
The investment objective is to provide exposure to a diversified set of excess return opportunities in the crypto market, including absolute return strategies as well as strategies with a long bias. The fund targets to participate in the crypto megatrend with larger up- than downside participation.
Investment approach
The fund invests across all core strategies, seeking out best-in-class crypto hedge fund managers that exhibit unique investment skills. The inefficiencies in the crypto space present greater opportunities for excess returns than traditional asset classes, and the fund aims to capitalise on these. The fund diversifies across strategies, both quantitative and fundamental, research oriented and trading oriented, including market neutral strategies such as arbitrage and systematic trading, as well as discretionary trading and fundamentally oriented token selection strategies.
The asset allocation is driven by the alpha opportunities for the various strategies over a medium-term horizon and risks are mitigated by diversifying the portfolio across strategies and managers.
Sygnum continuously monitors the underlying managers and assesses new managers for potential inclusion through an institutional due diligence process.
Risk/return profile
The fund targets a 50 percent exposure to the market through a mixture of market long and market neutral strategies, and a reduced volatility relative to the market. The excess return achieved over time translates into greater upside than downside participation in the market. The fund invests primarily in liquid strategies, with a small maximum exposure to attractive illiquid strategies.
