"Digital assets, anyone?"
Cryptocurrencies are hot, real, and profitable!
One of my favorite alternative investment funds—the Stonegate Diversified Digital Asset Master Fund—announced 2018 results, continuing its record of significant outperformance of both the cryptocurrency market specifically and overall asset markets generally. The fund launched October 2017, and has generated inception to date returns of 638 percent! For 2018, the fund generated 8.56 percent, versus the average crypto related hedge fund which have had average losses of approximately—70 percent during the year.
The Stonegate Diversified Digital Asset Master Fund, which is Stonegate Global Financial Group’s flagship Blockchain/digital asset fund, is one the best performing Blockchain technology and digital asset hedge funds in the world, and manages both liquid and illiquid investments. The fund makes opportunistic illiquid investments including venture capital and private equity, as well as security token offerings, which are also used to provide some level of liquidity back to the fund when possible. Stonegate Diversified manages multiple discretionary and systematic quantitative and arbitrage strategies trading long/short liquid exchange-traded digital assets, tokens, and cryptocurrencies, and acts as a fund of funds in select situations. The fund uses dynamic tactical asset allocation, which is deployed for the objective of increasing performance and minimizing drawdowns and volatility.
