Hyperion Decimus (HD), a prominent digital asset management firm and backer of a multi-strategy cryptocurrency hedge fund, today unveiled the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund. This new investment vehicle is designed to provide a transparent, data-driven approach to digital asset investing, leveraging institutional-level custodianship. The fund aims to capitalize on market uptrends while strategically avoiding downturns, potentially positioning it to hedge against economic shocks.
HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund uses a liquid and systematic strategy to enable agile circulation between various digital assets and cash. This flexibility is achieved through the use of sophisticated quantitative and macroeconomic signals, primarily powered by CoinDesk Indices’ proprietary Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) and Ether Trend Indicator (ETI). These indicators play an important role in identifying and acting on price trends in Bitcoin and Ethereum by leveraging non-discretionary techniques to minimize emotional investments.
HD co-founder and portfolio manager Chris Sullivan highlighted the changes in the digital asset investment landscape. “With over a decade of historical data now available, institutional investors are increasingly seeking out alpha opportunities that can only be accessed through sophisticated, risk-managed strategies,” he said.
Sullivan highlighted the rapid shift towards active management within the cryptocurrency sector, asserting HD’s unique position in providing a disciplined, results-driven investment strategy.
The fund’s strategy is to leverage the firm’s specialized cryptocurrency expertise as well as the expertise of the HD team, which boasts consistent performance and operational excellence. This holistic approach is what sets HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund apart in a market full of volatility and speculation.
Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices, also commented on this collaboration: “We value HD’s trust in CoinDesk Indices and the team’s confidence in leveraging its powerful trend indicators.”
He expressed confidence in the fund’s potential to attract institutional investors who prioritize capital protection as well as seeking alpha in unpredictable digital asset markets.
The launch of the HD CoinDesk Acheilus Fund marks a significant step forward in institutionalizing cryptocurrency investment strategies. We seek to mitigate risks associated with cryptocurrency market volatility by leveraging Hyperion Decimus’ extensive experience navigating multiple market cycles.
“Leveraging the CoinDesk Indexes’ Bitcoin Trend Indicator (BTI) and Ethereum Trend Indicator (ETI), the power of the HD CoinDesk Achillus Fund reduces institutional investors’ exposure to cryptocurrency market volatility,” the company said in a statement. “It helps reduce it,” he said.
HD has been one of the pioneering managers in the field of node execution, trading options and OMS/EMS/PMS software design. Cumulative traded cryptocurrency assets are well over $10 billion.
The fund could be a pioneer for the future of cryptocurrency investing, where a disciplined, data-driven approach becomes the norm while meeting the nuanced needs of institutional investors in mature markets.
