It was less than two years ago when the overall cryptocurrency market was seen as dubious and obscure. The primary reason for it was the anonymous nature of its participants and the long list of vaporware projects created to boom and bust.
Slowly but surely, recognized institutions including BlackRock, Fidelity, MassMutual, JP Morgan, and Ruffer Investment, to name but a few, started recognizing Bitcoin and other assets as investable products. What is more, an entire country in the face of El Salvador has formally recognized Bitcoin as legal tender on par with the US dollar.
At the same time, the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies has attracted many speculators – retail investors who flock to the next meme-inspired coin in hopes of becoming overnight millionaires. And while the latter fail more often than they succeed, both groups of investors are essential for the creation of what seems to be a perfectly legitimate market with involvement from all sides.
However, effective participation in this market is not necessarily easy. It’s not enough to simply buy a coin and hold it – it’s essential to do research, rebalance when needed, and undertake an efficient go-to-market strategy, just like in conventional stock markets.
This is where Invictus Capital has positioned itself.
Meet Invictus Capital
Invictus Capital is an asset management company that shares the thorough belief that blockchain will radically transform all forms of asset management to the tune where it will benefit investors throughout the entire world.
The company has developed a proprietary investor platform and a range of different funds to provide investors with democratized access and the potential opportunity of profitable returns. The company focuses on a few different segments, aiming to diversify the options investors have when it comes to the cryptocurrency field.
Crypto Lending
Invictus Alpha’s Yield Vault prizes itself at being a venue where investors can achieve industry-leading APR on various cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some stablecoins.
The current minimum size of the loan is $25,000, and investors can rely on some benefits such as fixed-term rates, a well-known counterparty in the face of Invictus Alpha, significantly reduced risk, and so forth. The interest rates are accrued monthly and are paid in-kind, which means that a loan in BTC pays interest in BTC, and so forth.
Cryptocurrency Funds
Invictus Capital aims to cater to those retail and institutional clients who don’t want to spend time and resources researching the intricacies of different cryptocurrencies and come up with actionable and effective investment strategies.
As such, one of the prime offerings that the company brings forward is its cryptocurrency funds. At the time of this writing, Invictus Capital has a few funds that investors can take a look at.
- Crypto20 Fund
This prides itself as being the world’s first tokenized crypto index fund tracking the performance of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by holding a single one – C20.
As mentioned, it tracks the movement of the broader crypto market and rebalances on a weekly basis where no asset takes up more than 10%. This simplifies the effort that’s required to track the market’s performance. There’s a nominal management fee of 0.5% per annum, which is still better than conventional asset management funds.
- Crypto10 Hedged
This is touted as a smart index fund that provides investors with exposure to the leading top 10 cryptocurrencies while also limiting the loss of capital through a hedging mechanism.
To reduce the concentration risk, the fund caps holdings of individual assets to 15% and uses a quant-driven hedging algorithm.
Invictus Capital also offers Margin Lending, Bitcoin Alpha and is currently developing a DeFi index. In addition, the company also has an incubation stage where developers and teams can pitch innovative ideas and potentially receive support and backing.
