HECO

HECO provides exposure to the growing digital asset ecosystem. The fund invests in companies expected to thrive as blockchain technology becomes more widely adopted, focusing on blockchain-related activities, such as Bitcoin miners and crypto service providers. Simultaneously, it gains exposure to cryptocurrency price movements through ETFs and futures contracts, focusing on bitcoin and ether. Portfolio selection is based on a fundamental, bottom-up analysis, using macroeconomic trends like interest rates and inflation, as well as blockchain data. While crypto positions rely on market conditions, exposure is adjusted heavily to direct crypto-related assets when favorable and reduced during downturns. Additionally, exposure to cryptocurrencies is limited to 25% and is acquired indirectly through a Cayman Islands subsidiary. As part of the strategy, HECO employs a dynamic options strategy, using covered calls for income and protective puts for risk management.
