Quantitative hedge fund offering AI-powered algorithms and ETF for asset managers & institutional endowments management.

关于我们

Scurdex Capital is reshaping endowment and investment management through its AI-powered Decentralized ETF, specifically designed to help asset managers and tertiary institutions maximize returns while mitigating risks in the volatile security market. Traditional ETFs offer diversified, passive investment strategies, but Scurdex Capital pushes beyond this by harnessing advanced AI algorithms to create a high-performance, actively managed ETF accessible on the blockchain. This blend of AI and decentralization delivers a smarter, faster, and more transparent investment experience. The core offering is the SDC token, which represents a share in Scurdex Capital’s actively managed algo-managed fund. Every SDC token is directly linked to the fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV), ensuring that token holders have a clear view of their asset-backed investments at any time. Investors and donors can participate in the fund by depositing assets, which trigger the minting of new SDC tokens at the prevailing NAV, allowing for precise, fair entry and exit points. By doing so, Scurdex Capital ensures that tokens represent the real-time value of the fund's performance. What sets Scurdex Capital’s ETF apart is the proprietary AI-Powered Web3 Algo Trader, which actively manages 25% of the portfolio value by analyzing live market data, identifying profitable trends, and making data-driven trading decisions. Support both centralized and decentralized exchanges like 1Inch DEX, the AI algorithms optimize trades by efficiently splitting orders to find the best liquidity and prices. The AI manages not only asset allocation but also comprehensive risk management and strategy diversification to deliver a balanced, high-growth portfolio that’s continuously adapting to market conditions. This approach enables the fund to respond faster to opportunities and risks than traditional asset managers, driving better overall returns.

    Private equity industry AuM drop for the first time in decades ?? Not all is well in a sector that until recently was spoiled by success. ?? What is to blame? According to the FT a $3tn backlog of ageing and unsold deals that led to institutional investors pulling back from committing new funds to the sector. No wonder the PE industry is coveting retail investors currently. Out of necessity, I would add… ?? As the Financial Times reports: "Buyout firms managed $4.7tn in assets as of June last year — down about 2 per cent from 2023, according to a report from consultancy Bain & Company. The decline in assets was the first since Bain began tracking industry assets in 2005. Even during the 2008 financial crisis, the private equity industry recorded modest asset growth, underscoring the magnitude of the challenges currently facing buyout groups. Fundraising has slowed sharply as private equity groups have struggled to sell assets and return cash to investors, causing large pension funds and endowments to retrench, said Hugh MacArthur, chair of Bain’s global private equity practice. 'There is more money coming out of the cigar box than coming into the cigar box,' MacArthur said. 'The pace of liquidity coming back to [fund investors] continues to be stressed.' The proportion of a fund’s NAV that buyout managers return to their investors as cash has fallen to about half the historical average in recent years. The lack of distributions has squeezed pension funds, which need regular cash payouts to fund their commitments to retired workers. In 2024, the distributions from the private equity industry as a percentage of net assets fell to their lowest in more than a decade at just 11%, Bain found. Investors have responded by resisting new fund commitments. Private equity fundraising dropped 23% in 2024, with the industry drawing in $401bn in new assets — the weakest tally since 2020. New cash coming into buyout groups was not enough to replace the $468bn in assets the industry sold last year as dealmaking and equity capital markets started to recover. MacArthur said pressures on the private equity industry were unlikely to ease quickly. ??'It won’t all be better in 2025,' MacArthur said. 'It’s a three- or four-year problem.' At the same time, private equity fees have fallen. The industry’s traditional '2 per cent' management fee is being eroded by so-called co-investments where sovereign wealth funds and pensions invest directly in deals without paying fees, while the rise of lower fee evergreen funds raised by giants including Blackstone and Apollo Global Management, Inc. may further weigh on fees." (Reporting: Antoine Gara and Alexandra Heal) ? Do you agree that private equity may have a 3- to 4-year problem? (+++Opinions are my own. Not investment advice. Do your own research.+++) Don’t want to miss my posts? Set the bell ?? next to my profile picture to 'All' and you'll be notified when I post. ??

    When BlackRock, UBS, and State Street all move into tokenisation in the same year, something bigger is happening. The below report looks at how 2024 became the turning point for tokenisation, as more big institutions got involved and new ways to earn money beyond traditional stablecoin grew. Here are my key takeaways: ?? Real-world asset tokenisation saw a 576% growth in 2024, outperforming all other crypto sectors including memes (+406%) and AI (+100%) ?? The total market cap of tokenised assets on Ethereum jumped from $1.9B to $3.25B, with institutions overwhelmingly choosing Ethereum over other chains ?? USDY, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by US treasuries, grew 591% in 2024 while offering 4.65% APY to holders ?? Major banks are predicting massive growth: Standard Chartered expects $30T in tokenised assets by 2034, while BCG forecasts $16T by 2030 ?? The Cayman Islands emerged as the dominant hub for digital asset funds, hosting nearly two-thirds of all crypto hedge funds ?? Despite the growth, 56% of digital asset funds still cite regulatory uncertainty as their primary concern The move to tokenised assets began as a test among big institutions and is quietly becoming the foundation of finance. The numbers show it’s not a matter of "if," but "when." #tokenisation #financialinnovation #RWA #couchonomics #payments #fintech #embeddedfinance #digitalassets #futureofmoney #futureoffinance Couchonomics with Arjun - ?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ??

    Founding Partner, Chief Investment Officer at Fourier Asset Management LLP. Delivering repeatable alpha to investors using an unbiased systematic approach.

    Aurum's research - Arbitrage hedge fund primer. Our notes from their piece: - This primer will concentrate on arbitrage hedge fund strategies that primarily trade volatility instruments, convertible bonds, and other securities across the capital structure. - These strategies look to benefit from mispricings of the same or closely related instruments, such as from pricing uncertainties in options and other derivatives. Convertible Arbitrage: 1) This approach requires expertise in both fixed income and equity markets, dealing with the interplay between the bond's credit component and the embedded equity option. Effective execution demands sophisticated modelling and risk management to navigate the complex factors involved. 2) Mispricings in convertible bonds arise due to the complexity of valuing their hybrid nature. The embedded option and the bond component can be misaligned relative to each other because different market participants may value them differently. 3) Market inefficiencies can occur due to supply and demand imbalances. 4) Convertible bond arbitrage trading presents several challenges. The hybrid nature of the convertible instrument and cross-asset nature of the strategy requires expertise in both fixed income and equity derivatives, necessitating sophisticated modelling and risk management. 5) Liquidity is more sparse, as convertible bonds are less liquid than underlying stocks or straight bonds, making it difficult to trade positions without affecting market prices, particularly during periods of market stress. 6) The strategy is also capital-intensive to finance. 7) Over the years, the landscape of convertible bond arbitrage has changed markedly. 8) In recent years, the strategy has experienced periods of strong performance when market volatility increases and pricing discrepancies become more evident. Conversely, during times of low volatility and tight credit spreads, opportunities are fewer, and returns may be lower. The strategy continues to evolve, with managers adapting to changing market conditions and regulatory environments. 9) Convertible bond arbitrage strategies have historically performed best in markets with moderate to high volatility, in which trading opportunities have been abundant. 10) Convertible bond arbitrage offers the potential for steady, risk-adjusted returns with moderate correlation to traditional asset classes. 11) Extreme market events can significantly impact the strategy. During periods of severe stress, such as the Global Financial Crisis, liquidity can evaporate, credit spreads can widen dramatically, and asset correlations can change unpredictably At Fourier Asset Management LLP, our focus is credit relative value and convertible bonds. We agree and accept almost all the points made in this piece. However, rather than simply accepting these weaknesses, our mission has been to turn both the strengths and weaknesses into repeatable alpha. #artitrage #hedgefunds #convertiblebond
