Just because digital assets are volatile doesn’t mean they are inherently risky. Utilizing a multilayered approach to risk, that covers every aspect of our operations, from cybersecurity and physical hardware, to trading and counterparty risk, risk management is at the heart of everything we do.
Concentration
We believe that an actively managed digital asset strategy should be fairly concentrated during times of market dislocations and periods of gross inefficiencies, to generate above-benchmark long-term returns.
Sizing
We will invest greater amounts of capital in digital assets where we find greater risk-adjusted value and vice versa. If blockchain flow data suggests that target prices can no longer be supported, we will reduce the weighting of that position or exit the position altogether.
Active Hedging
We believe our risk-adjusted value approach to digital asset selection that melds blockchain data analytics and in-depth research, with active hedging using derivatives, can generate superior risk-adjusted returns over a three-year to five-year time horizon.
Trade Profit & Loss
Trade Profit & Loss algorithms use mark-to-market valuations of open contracts with realized profit and loss, providing intraday insight into actual portfolio performance, split up in strategy types, instruments and any other dimension required by our traders.
Max Drawdown
Automated monitoring of any declines in Trade Profit & Loss is a key portfolio preservation tool. Our software calculates the drop from the last cumulative Trade Profit & Loss peak and automated trading algorithms are authorized to liquidate trading positions if maximum allowed drawdown has occurred.
Limit Structures
Active trading limits are set based on a broad category of factors including, trade size, instrument, segment, strategy and liquidity across the entire trading portfolio.
Our risk management software actively calculates at-the-moment cryptocurrency values and portfolio preservation actions are automated to act decisively during market externalities.
Execution-To-Model
We constantly compare actual performance against our modeled performance and trading programs are designed to automatically improve and/or report on areas where results have not reflected model projections as well as opportunities to optimize performance.
Execution-To-Model uses model-simulated performance and pre-defined trading costs and slippage as a reference, constantly overlaying and mapping actual performance against modeled performance.
