3iQ Launches Multi-Factor AMC on Swiss Exchange SIX

Crypto asset manager 3iQ has launched one of its hedge fund products as an actively managed certificate (AMC) in collaboration with the Swiss regulated partner Criptonite Asset Management. This new structured product is set to be traded on the Swiss Exchange SIX, providing qualified investors with access to actively managed investment vehicles.

The 3iQ Criptonite Multi-Factor AMC is designed as a hedge fund that employs a long/short strategy. This approach allows the fund to capitalize on both market uptrends and downtrends through dynamic positioning, aiming to generate alpha in various market conditions.

3iQ has a notable history in the crypto trading arena, being one of the first fund managers to list a bitcoin fund on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the first to offer a publicly listed ether fund in Toronto. This experience positions 3iQ as a pioneer in the digital asset management space.

Florian Rais, CEO of Criptonite, highlighted the growing trend of talented managers transitioning to digital assets. He noted that these managers have demonstrated their ability to generate alpha in the digital asset market, similar to their past achievements in traditional markets. This shift underscores the increasing recognition of digital assets as a viable and profitable investment class.
