Investment Approach

Lending: Deploying stablecoin funding to carefully vetted, overcollateralised decentralised lending protocols to earn the lending interest rate.
Basis Trading: Placing delta-neutral carry trades to capture the funding rate premium between perpetual futures and spot markets.
Incentive Farming: Providing stablecoin liquidity to carefully vetted protocols in order to capture token emissions and rewards via incentive and airdrop campaigns. The fund utilises private deals and fixed-yield trading markets to maximise realised yield from incentive farming.
Relative Value & Special Situations: Exploiting pricing inefficiencies across venues, stablecoin depegs, and other market dislocations through opportunistic, risk-managed positions with asymmetric return profiles.

Risk Factors

Smart Contract — Exposure to potential vulnerabilities in DeFi protocol code
Counterparty — Risk of centralised platform or protocol failure
Stablecoin Depeg — Potential for stablecoin assets to deviate from USD peg
Liquidity — Risk of reduced market liquidity affecting position exits
Regulatory — Evolving legal frameworks across jurisdictions
Operational — Execution and infrastructure risks
