The Liquid Token Fund offers our partners a differentiated risk/return profile when compared to the general digital assets asset market while avoiding exposure to leverage, ICOs, or counterparty risk. By following our own digital assets-native valuation frameworks to identify short-to-medium term dislocations in the digital assets market, we are able to provide both long and short exposure for our partners using proprietary Premo technology & methods we have developed in-house over the last half decade.

We are activist investors through governance in our portfolio assets to drive long term value creation and keep our fingers on the pulse in this fast-paced emerging market. We maintain a close relationships with developers to understand the dynamic ecosystem of different tokens. The ultimate result is a safer and more effective exposure to the best digital assets have to offer, in real time.
