Unlike traditional markets, its non-stop nature amplifies risks such as price volatility, liquidity constraints, and rapidly evolving exchange infrastructures. Regulatory uncertainty and technological vulnerabilities further complicate the landscape. To navigate this environment, a sophisticated and proactive risk management framework is essential to safeguard investments and ensure operational resilience.
Our investment approach is built upon a multi-manager platform, which allocates capital across numerous independent portfolio management teams. Each team, or ‘pod’, operates distinct and uncorrelated strategies, creating a highly diversified portfolio of alpha sources. This structure allows for dynamic capital allocation, enabling us to scale successful strategies and reallocate from underperforming ones with agility.
The platform’s strength lies in its diversification, not just of assets, but of trading styles, time horizons, and risk profiles. By decentralising strategy execution while centralising risk oversight, we create a resilient ecosystem designed to perform across varied market conditions.
- Systematic Market Risk
Volatility spikes from margin cascades, macro events, or cross-token correlations disrupting trading strategies. - Counterparty Risk
Exchange insolvencies or trading halts jeopardising capital access, as observed in historical failures. - Liquidity Risk
Uneven liquidity across tokens and exchanges leading to slippage, affecting execution quality. - Technological Risk
API latency, outages, or cybersecurity breaches threatening the operational continuity of individual pods. - Regulatory Risk
Evolving global regulations, such as those under the EU’s MiCA framework, introducing compliance uncertainties.
We enforce extensive diversification across numerous trading venues. This is paired with secure off-exchange settlement solutions and continuous solvency monitoring to protect capital.
Our framework mandates a focus on the market's most liquid assets. We enforce real-time order book depth thresholds and pod-specific liquidity limits to ensure efficient execution and minimise adverse market impact.
The platform provides a resilient, centralised infrastructure with redundant API connections and robust failover protocols. All teams benefit from institutional-grade encryption, regular penetration testing, and multi-signature key storage.
Our compliance function proactively monitors the global regulatory landscape. We pre-emptively adjust platform-wide protocols to align with emerging standards, ensuring all portfolio management teams operate within a compliant framework.
