Crypto Funds

Seemingly everyday novel investment opportunities are offered in the crypto space that promise to be the 21st-century answer to their already well-established but more traditional equivalents. One such traditional approach is funds that invest in crypto assets.

With more people considering diversifying their portfolio with crypto assets, we think the time is ripe for gathering more knowledge about the different possibilities available today. Join us in gaining comprehensive insights into the current state of how crypto funds are set up and being used as well as their role in further triggering financial innovation.

Furthermore, we would also like to elaborate on the following questions:

• What are crypto funds? In which tokens do they invest and with which strategy?
• What are the rationales behind investing in crypto funds and who is the typical investor?
• How do crypto funds compare to traditional funds with respect to attributes such as risk and return?
• Where will crypto funds fill a gap in the current financial system?

During the online event, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the speakers.
