An AI-driven strategy that combines tactical long positions, capital preservation, and short-term opportunities to achieve steady growth with minimal declines, offering an asymmetric risk-reward profile.
Core Chain Income Fund
A delta neutral fund that aims to generate high yields by providing liquidity for cryptocurrency traders on chain. It is designed as a high sharpe, highly consistent fund so that investors could use returns for income if desired.

Why "1.2 Capital”?
The English economist John Maynard Keynes once described the character of stock picking using a special sort of beauty contest that was prominent in the 1930s. In these contests 100 photographs of faces would be displayed in a newspaper and participants were asked to pick the 6 faces they believed would be chosen as the prettiest by all players.
What matters in this sort of contest is not how pretty a face is, but how pretty other people think a face is. That’s a lot like picking stocks or cryptos: what matters most is what other people think have the most room to grow.
Players in these games might be called Level 0 players if they have no overall strategy. Level 1 players adapt their strategies to anticipate Level 0 players. Level 2 anticipate Level 1 and so on.
Financial researchers wondered if there was an optimal mix of strategies, so they ran simulations: what they discovered is that a mixed strategy at just about Level 1.2 proved optimal.
That's what our fund aims to achieve, an optimally sophisticated investment strategy for a maturing market.
