Mandates & sleeves

Five books. One temperament.

Each strategy is sized, sequenced and supervised as though a very patient aristocrat were reading over our shoulder. One is. He is a duck.

BOOK I · FLAGSHIP

Sovereign Reserve

Programmatic accumulation of monetary cryptoassets against a volatility budget. Entry by drawdown, exit by conviction decay, sleep by default. Cold custody across three jurisdictions and one location that legal counsel asked us not to describe.

BOOK II · INCOME

Neutral Carry

Cash-and-carry, cross-venue basis and delta-neutral funding capture. Every basis point has a name, a venue, and an exit that does not depend on the next depositor. Returns are modest, repeatable, and deliberately unphotogenic.

BOOK III · OPTIONALITY

Private Rails

Infrastructure, custody technology and settlement networks. We invest in the pipes, never in the parade that uses them. Co-investment is offered to principals who have previously refrained from asking about co-investment.

BOOK IV · LIQUIDITY

Treasury & Dry Powder

Short-duration dollar instruments and tokenized bills for principals who require optionality without theatrical yield. The most boring book we run, and consequently the one of which we are most fond.

BOOK V · BY ARRANGEMENT

The Deep Pond

A concentrated, high-conviction, low-disclosure vehicle for principals who have already read the other four books and are unbothered by the fifth. Its constituents are not published, its depth is not measured, and its existence is acknowledged only in the sense that you are currently reading about it.

Indicative parameters only. Real parameters are in the memorandum, which, owing to a clerical enthusiasm, has a very short URL.

Model your position in the Pond.

Our proprietary engine — reviewed by a committee that met once, briefly, and left — will project your outcome with the confidence of a duck who has never been wrong.

Projected outcome: pending.

Projections are hypothetical, non-binding, and, in fairness, rehearsed.
