Student-Run Quantitative Crypto Hedge Fund
A cross-pollination of Computer Science, Economics, & Data Science dedicated to
exploring the future of asset management.
The future of hedge funds.
Polycoin Capital is shifting the status quo of asset management to a more decentralized, transparent, data-driven approach. Our algorithmic trading strategies capitalize on market indicators and arbitrage opportunities to maximize returns, while our decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) allows portfolio managers and investors to vote on investments, ownership shares, amendments to the payout structure. Since our fund is held on the Melon blockchain, any investor in any country can easily invest in our portfolio–the same applies to our DAO.

Why Invest in Digital Currency?
The combination of security, transparency, and provable scarcity offered by cryptocurrencies has created a generational investment opportunity. Cryptocurrencies are one of the few assets whose market cap has gone parabolic on a logarithmic scale, multiple times, and recovered higher each time. Historically, cryptocurrencies have also been uncorrelated from traditional markets. No matter what the portfolio allocation, digital currencies can be immune to the vicissitudes of traditional stock investments and the equity markets, and thus can be used to hedge against traditional investments.

What is Blockchain?
In simple terms, a blockchain is a shared, distributed, and immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets. The assets can be tangible, such as automobile parts, or intangible, such as intellectual property like patents or the so called cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
