Actively managed cryptocurrency investment fund that takes advantage of market volatility

The professional fund setup, which includes an independent administrator, plays a crucial role in ensuring and fostering trust/establishes trust. There is a separate foundation for the custody of funds.

Next to that Mahler Capital provide fund documentation that’s obliged by Dutch law so investors can make a well-informed decision. Also, Mahler Capital works with an independent fund administrator AssetCare to calculate its’ Net Asset Value (NAV).

Furthermore, it is important to note that Mahler Capital is registered with the AFM, which subjects Mahler Capital to the Wwft (Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Act) and the Sanctions Act upon registration. The AFM serves as the overseeing authority in this regard.

Mahler’s vision on cryptocurrency is that it offers various potential value propositions and benefits. Here are some key aspects:

• Decentralization
• Security and safety
• Fast and cost-effective transactions
• Financial inclusion
• Innovation and new possibilities

It is important to note that the value and benefits of cryptocurrency depend on various factors, including the specific project, adoption rate, and regulations. Cryptocurrency investments also come with risks, such as volatility and regulatory challenges.

Mahler Capital believes in the long-term price appreciation of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is why BTC and ETH always form the largest portion of our portfolio. With a portion of the profits, we invest in a select number of altcoins.

Mahler Capital takes advantage of market volatility. We take long positions. We take (sometimes) short positions. And we profit. Temporary market bottoms are identified based on historically recurring price patterns since 2012. To maintain full liquidity for our investors, our fund does not invest in ICOs, engage in frequent shorting, or participate in intraday trading.

There are generally two types of crypto funds:

1. Funds that invest in blockchain projects/companies (ICO’s).
2. Funds that aim to outperform the market by trading.

Mahler Capital falls into the second category. Within this category, there are two variations: funds that operate solely based on algorithms and funds where trades are executed by humans.

Algorithmic funds operate 24/7, 365 days a year, executing trades continuously, including small trades. Mahler Capital primarily relies on human expertise and strategically takes positions when the market is favorable. In 2022, a total of only 18 positions were taken. It is possible that no positions will be taken for several weeks if the market conditions are unfavorable. Therefore, we recommend trying Mahler Capital for a minimum of 6 months.

We have kept the costs as transparent as possible for investors.

2.5% fund management fee

35% performance fee (high-water mark)

0.25% exit fee

Please note that there are no hidden costs on top of these fees. For example, we do not pass on legal or administrative costs to the investors. We strive to keep it simple and transparent.

At Mahler Capital, we adhere to the High Water Mark principle in our investment management approach. This principle serves to ensure fairness in fee structures for our investors. The High Water Mark represents the peak value that an investment account has reached. When managing investments, we only charge performance fees on new profits generated after surpassing the previous peak. This methodology aligns our interests with those of our investors. Investors are only charged fees when their investment surpasses previous highs, while Mahler Capital is incentivized to consistently achieve new highs to earn its fees. Ultimately, this approach ensures that investors are not charged for the same performance multiple times and that Mahler Capital is rewarded for generating genuine value for its investors.

You have the opportunity to exit on a monthly basis. Please inform us in advance, and we will ensure that the amount is transferred within a few working days after the NAV calculation.

If a fund is registered with the Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), it means that the fund complies with the legal requirements and regulations set forth by the AFM. The AFM is the financial regulatory authority in the Netherlands responsible for overseeing the conduct of financial institutions and ensuring a fair and transparent financial market.

The registration process with the AFM entails the fund meeting specific standards and criteria. These standards pertain to aspects such as transparency, provision of information to investors, risk management, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. By being registered with the AFM, the fund demonstrates its commitment to these standards and subjects itself to the authority’s supervision.

For investors, the fact that a fund is registered with the AFM provides a certain level of confidence and credibility. It implies that the fund adheres to the rules and that the information provided to investors is reliable and accurate. However, it remains important for investors to conduct their own research and carefully evaluate the characteristics and performance of a fund before making investments.

A provider of investment objects is exempt from the licensing requirement if they meet one or more of the conditions below:

• the provider offers to fewer than 100 consumers;
• the investment object being offered is part of a series, consisting of fewer than 20 investment objects;
• the investment per investment object is €100,000 or more (in Mahler Capital’s case).

If the provider is exempt from the licensing requirement, they are obliged to state in all their advertising and documents that they are not subject to licensing and are not under the supervision of the AFM. You will then encounter the following statement: “This investment falls outside AFM supervision. No license and no prospectus required for this activity.”
