Family Offices increasingly acknowledge the significance of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in diversifying and enhancing their traditional investment portfolios. With a strategic shift towards active management and a multi-manager approach, these investors are poised to maximise their returns in the cryptocurrency markets.
Active Management: The buy-and-hold Bitcoin strategy is often the first step to crypto investment. However, holding Bitcoin lacks yield, attracts costs, and exposes the portfolio to significant volatility. Many investors, therefore, take the next step and employ active management strategies – leveraging market inefficiencies through trading strategies executed by specialist fund managers.
Multi-Manager Approach: Diversification is crucial in mitigating the significant volatility of cryptocurrencies. By adopting a multi-manager strategy, qualified investors can benefit from the specialised expertise of managers across a wide spectre of strategies – mean reversion, quant directional, delta neutral, long short, etc. They not only reduce volatility but can also deliver consistent, uncorrelated returns, enhancing the overall portfolio growth.
