COSIMO Ventures Launches Risk-Managed Digital Yield Fund Focused on Staking

COSIMO sees opportunity in an investment strategy seeking yield* through staking protocol token accrual with a hedging capability

BOSTON & DUBLIN--()--COSIMO Ventures (“COSIMO”), the venture capital investment firm that launched one of the world’s first tokenized, evergreen venture funds which provides investors access to high-potential blockchain projects, announces the launch of its latest investment vehicle, COSIMO Y. The risk-managed digital yield* fund is designed to provide a turnkey solution for institutions and investors seeking token yield uncorrelated to traditional markets with a risk-managed approach. COSIMO is targeting a $200MM capital raise.

The launch of the fund comes on the precipice of an important inflection point for cryptocurrency as investors anticipate an Ethereum merge, which will transition the second largest cryptocurrency, by market capitalization, from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake network. Staking is a process that helps secure a cryptocurrency network and receives that protocol’s coins as a reward. It offers a way of generating yield from a cryptocurrency with annual rates that could potentially outpace traditional fixed income products, while aiding the efficacy of the blockchain network itself. COSIMO intends to execute a best-in-class investment process working with institutional grade partners.

We are extremely excited to launch such an innovative fund at a time in the market where investors are searching for ways to diversify their portfolios through a risk-managed strategy,” said COSIMO Ventures Managing Partner Rob Frasca. “Risk-managed exposure to increasingly popular proof-of-stake networks opens up a new avenue for investors seeking to complement their portfolio with access to the world-changing technology and potential of crypto.”

Unlike other digital asset funds that implement tactics like liquidity pool mining and yield farming, COSIMO Y will invest in a diversified group of PoS networks and use derivative products to help hedge risk. The fund will seek to accrue tokens on a predictable basis, benefit from price appreciation, and mitigate losses through hedging strategies. This multi-strategy approach provides options for investors seeking aggressive, moderate or conservative exposure.
