Hyperion Decimus (HD), a prominent digital asset management firm and sponsor of a multi-strategy crypto hedge fund, unveiled the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund today. This new investment vehicle is designed to provide a transparent, data-driven approach to digital assets investment, leveraging institutional-grade fiduciary management. The fund aims to capitalize on market uptrends while strategically avoiding downturns and is positioned to potentially hedge against economic shocks.
The HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund employs a liquid systematic strategy, enabling agile rotation between various digital assets and cash. This flexibility is achieved through the use of sophisticated quantitative and macroeconomic signals, primarily driven by CoinDesk Indices’ proprietary Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) and Ether Trend Indicator (ETI). These indicators play a crucial role in identifying and acting on price trends for Bitcoin and Ether, utilizing non-discretionary techniques to minimize emotional investing.
Chris Sullivan, Co-Founder and Portfolio Manager at HD, emphasized the changing landscape of digital asset investment. “With over a decade of historical data now available, institutional investors are increasingly seeking out alpha opportunities that are accessible only through sophisticated, risk-managed strategies,” he stated.
Sullivan highlighted the rapid shift towards active management within the cryptocurrency sector, asserting HD’s unique position to offer a disciplined, outcome-driven investment strategy.
The fund’s strategy is not just about capitalizing on the expertise of HD’s team, which boasts consistent performance and exceptional operational capabilities, but also on the specialized crypto expertise that the firm holds. This holistic approach is what sets the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund apart in a market teeming with volatility and speculation.
Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, also commented on the collaboration: “We value the trust HD places in CoinDesk Indices and the conviction of the team to utilize our powerful trend indicators.”
He expressed confidence in the fund’s potential to attract institutional investors who are not only seeking alpha but also prioritize capital protection in the unpredictable digital asset market.
The launch of the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund represents a significant step towards institutionalizing cryptocurrency investment strategies. It seeks to mitigate the risks associated with crypto market volatility, drawing on Hyperion Decimus’ extensive experience navigating through multiple market cycles.
“The power of the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund, leveraging CoinDesk Indices’ Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) and Ether Trend Indicator (ETI), seeks to reduce institutional investors’ exposure to crypto market volatility,” the company said in a statement.
HD was among the pioneering managers in running nodes, trading options, and designing OMS/EMS/PMS software. It has cumulatively traded crypto assets worth well over $10 billion.
This fund could be a harbinger for the future of cryptocurrency investments, where systematic, data-driven approaches become the norm, catering to the nuanced needs of institutional investors in a maturing market.
