Cindicator, an international fintech company, has launched the first quantitative crypto hedge fund powered by Hybrid Intelligence.
Cindicator Capital is an ecosystemic fund, based on an alpha-generating vehicle including thousands of decentralised analysts from 135 countries. The data flow of millions of forecasts from the analytical platform (app.cindicator.com) is enhanced with machine learning models and then feeds a variety of algorithmic strategies. Additionally, the fund develops strategies based on quantitative research on a variety of data sets.
Part of the fund’s revenues will be used to reward analysts for correct forecasts in proportion to their intellectual efforts and the quality of indicators based on their predictions.
Cindicator has invested USD500,000 of the corporate treasury into the fund’s strategies. That amount will be extended gradually to USD2.5 million in the coming months.
The meta-strategy run internally by Hybrid Intelligence has demonstrated strong double-digit annual returns on Bitcoin. This strategy will now be rolled out within Cindicator Capital.
The fund is structured as a master-feeder vehicle and is open for investors from a majority of jurisdictions including the US, the EU, the UK, Asia and the Middle East.
Members of the Cindicator Capital team have previously worked at WorldQuant, Bloomberg and Fidelity as well as at leading academic institutions.
Mike Brusov (pictured), co-founder & CEO of Cindicator, says: “Today, the Cindicator ecosystem is entering the next level of its development, preparing to start the onboarding of external capital from a fund of funds, family offices, VC funds, institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. The combination of the collective human mind and machine intelligence provides a unique and sustainable data source for seeking alpha.”
Yuri Lobyntsev, co-founder & CTO of Cindicator, says: “We are happy to launch the first ever ecosystemic hedge fund, the financial institution of the new era. The symbiosis of human and machine stands behind the investment vehicle, which is a game-changer for the money management industry.”
