Our Investment Strategy
Cipher Chain utilizes non-directional positions using decentralized finance applications in an effort to produce low volatility returns that are almost completely uncorrelated to equity and crypto markets.
The principal is converted to stablecoins (digital assets pegged to the US dollar) which are used to execute market-making and delta-neutral strategies. Positions are diversified and rebalanced using a proprietary methodology to optimize returns on a daily basis within set risk parameters.
Highly Experienced Team
Fund Managers have been actively engaged in Decentralized Finance since its inception and have a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem's benefits and risks
Innovative Investment Strategy
The Fund has developed a proprietary methodology allowing the generation of exceptional risk-adjusted returns in decentralized finance via nondirectional strategies
Superior Risk Management
The firm employs a comprehensive risk-reward framework that meticulously analyzes every smart contract and associated collateral. This analysis results in a weighted risk-reward scoring system, driving our approach to sizing and diversifying positions.
Zero Negative Monthly Returns
Since its inception on March 1, 2022, the Fund has never experienced a single down month and has delivered double-digit annualized net returns.
