Ariane Capital, a traditional family office involved in the
cryptocurrency market since 2014, is launching an ARBA SPIN, a
certificate actively managed with a long-term directional
objective. The fund mixes the fundamental analysis of the crypto
with the ability to seize opportunities identified within for best
returns. Over the past two years, the crypto industry gained
mainstream attention and mass adoption, and traditional financial
institutions increasingly started seeking exposure to this new
asset class as well. (Image Source) With demand for crypto assets
evolving, Ariane Capital noted that its clients have been seeking
out long-term directional exposure, and to cater to this rising
demand, the firm launched ARBA SPIN to offer absolute performance.
The ARBA SPIN yielded +12.5% in its first month after launch and in
a bear market. Ariane Capital attributes this performance to the
“alpha generator qualities of the management team, who were able to
identify several significant opportunities.” Despite being a
conservative family office, it has been seeing “growing demand”
from its clients, said Benjamin Guez, co-founder of the
multi-family office Ariane Capital, in an interview. The fund
applies a risk management methodology with existing tools such as
options or futures. “The market is now aware of the underlying
assets’ volatility and wishes to have a dedicated risk allocation
given the strong potential of the crypto asset class in this
universe,” Guez said. Being Early and Strong Ariane Capital, one of
the very few operators in the European financial market, already
has its arbitrate fund ARBA FUND available, whose objective is to
be decorrelated from the market. It was the first regulated and
structured arbitrage fund on the market. During the downturn of May
last year, where the crypto market reported losses of more than
50%, the ARBA Fund had a monthly performance of 0.12%. But as the
crypto sector evolves and continues to gain adoption, arbitrage
gaps and opportunities are shrinking, resulting in a 15% return in
2021 compared to 2020’s performance of +41.75%. The
technology-focused family office, Ariane Capital, got into crypto
at an early stage about eight years back. At the time, the
cryptocurrency sector was still opaque and new, and it took a few
years for the firm to open a bank account and offer liquidity to
its clients. The firm has since then gathered a team of financial
market professionals and experienced fund managers specializing in
a proper risk management approach to offer services ranging from
legal structuring to the opening of depositories. It now also has
the internal capability to analyze the crypto universe, invest in
it, and support its development. Being early in the game means, “it
allowed us to be ahead of and in sync with the whole crypto
universe,” said Guez.
