A novel cryptocurrency fund run by digital assets-focused investment manager Wave Financial, which uses a call options strategy to trade on bitcoin’s volatility, has scored a near-146 per cent return in its first year of trading.
The Wave BTC Income & Growth Digital Fund, a pioneering cryptocurrency derivatives-based strategy, aims to capitalise on bitcoin’s high volatility using a covered call approach to generate returns, while also capturing the potential upside of the currency.
The fund – whose investor base comprises a mix of institutions, family offices and high-net worth individuals with experience in both digital assets and traditional financial market – notched up a 145.8 per cent annual gain in first full year of operation.
