OVERVIEW
Our thesis of creating asymmetric returns by applying algorithmic risk management on high-growth assets continues to be validated and our focus on the intermediate and long-term digital asset market cycles has served us well. During a period when many investors have faced total loss due to: unmitigated custodial risk in the case of Celsius Network; misunderstanding of risk premium in the case of Terra (LUNA); or inability to manage their psychological instincts for those who purchased at all-time highs, our firm continues to provide a thoughtful, systematic approach to a dynamic asset class. Our positive performance complemented by muted drawdowns that create opportunities to participate in the powerful recoveries that characterize the asset class.
- The TrueCode Capital Crypto Momentum Fund returned +23.51% for the month of July 2022.[^1]
- The strategy is +13.94% YTD[1,2,3] versus -50.1% YTD for Bitcoin[4], a +63.6% outperformance.
- In June 2022, the fund avoided a -35% drawdown for BTC[4] with a -7% drawdown.[1,4]
- The crypto bear market has extended to 197 days[4] with many digital assets and cryptocurrency funds experiencing total losses.
Jan 2022-July 2022 Strategy Performance
TrueCode Capital Crypto Momentum Fund Performance
Despite the broader cryptocurrency market being in a bear market for 197 days since January 15, 2022[4], our strategy is up 13.94% YTD[1,2,3] versus -50.12% YTD[4] for Bitcoin. Our focus on capital preservation during volatile markets has allowed us to re-enter the market at much better pricing than was available even a few short months ago. By contrast, our Fund experienced a maximum intra-year drawdown of -9.57%[1,2,3], versus the comparable period drawdowns for Bitcoin (-61.95% intra-year[4]) and Ethereum (-76.08% intra-year[4]).
Our Fund’s focus on capital preservation stems from our understanding of the asymmetry of investing losses as compared to investing gains. With our more muted downside exposure, it only took a 10.58% increase in market prices to reclaim our start of year balance, compared with Bitcoin or Ethereum, where it will take 163%-318% in market gains to break even for 2022[4].
Strategy Drawdown Comparison – Data from TradingView
The strategy employed by the TrueCode Capital Crypto Momentum fund has outperformed Bitcoin by 63.64% YTD[1,2] and provided a 13.94% YTD[1,2] gain for our investors, meanwhile Bitcoin will require a 1.6x return to reclaim its opening value for the year of $46,230.005 and Ethereum will require a 3x gain to reclaim its opening balance. If this recovery occurs in 2022 or years into the future, our patient and disciplined strategy will seek to participate in the uptrends and preserve capital during the downtrends to create asymmetric returns for our investors.
