The Fund’s strategy focuses on liquidity provision and
arbitrage across the top ten most liquid crypto
currencies, by market capitalization, in both electronic
and over the counter venues. This is complemented by
a highly disciplined risk-taking approach.
Our proprietary methodology is a short to medium
term horizon, favouring volatile market conditions and
is agnostic to market direction ie: the strategy
generates returns in both falling and rising prices.
The fund aims to generate significant returns, in
excess of 100% on an annualised basis, by taking
advantage of the discrepancies in the crypto currency
market with attractive risk-adjusted return
characteristics.

Strategy

Owing to the nascent stage of this evolving market
and it’s highly dispersed nature, numerous
opportunities of arbitrage exist.
The fragmented nature of the market with liquidity
spread across a number of geographic locations
presents arbitrage opportunities as well.
We position ourselves in the middle of the flow as
an active liquidity provider we are able to take
advantage of those opportunities and generate high
returns.
Our strategy is suited to investors looking for
exposure to a low value at risk (VaR), highly liquid
and a high performing fund with a well secured cold
storage.

Currently there are only three main market makers for over the
counter (OTC) blocks and electronic trades . By offering
competitive pricing and accommodating institutional size liquidity
we will secure a leading position as a liquidity provider.
Falcon Crypto arbitrage is a dynamic and actively traded
focusing on 3 approaches:
Arising from dispersed liquidity pools spread across varying global
locations, numerous exchanges and all time zones leading to a
24/7 market.
Relative value trading of crypto pairs and crypto/fiat pairs allow
us to enhance the profitability of the fund by taking advantage of
short term dislocations, as well as accessing greater liquidity to
facilitate our arbitrage trading and be more nimble in deploying
risk.
