Valour launches first crypto hedge fund using Neuronomics AI strategy

Valour, the digital asset investment products subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, has launched its first hedge fund as it expands beyond exchange traded products into actively managed cryptocurrency strategies.

Digital asset investment subsidiary DeFi Technologies has introduced its inaugural hedge fund, Valour Funds SPC, to broaden its offerings beyond exchange traded products (ETPs). The new Smart Crypto Fund SP is a Cayman Islands-domiciled hedge fund catering to professional and qualified investors, managed by Neuronomics AG, a Swiss portfolio management firm.

Neuronomics leverages artificial intelligence (AI) models to dynamically adjust positions based on market conditions, assessing price, volume, and other data to determine portfolio allocations and overall exposure. This strategy reduces positions when signals deteriorate or perceived risks increase, adhering to predefined risk budgets, concentration limits, and controls on aggregate market exposure.

Neuronomics founder and CEO Dr. Michael Kometer explained that their AI models aim to discern relevant market signals from vast digital asset data and translate those forecasts into investment decisions. Smart Crypto Fund SPC, Valour's first hedge fund, underscores the company's move into actively managed digital asset strategies, providing professional investors with access to systematic investment approaches.

DeFi Technologies, which holds a minority stake in Neuronomics, operates additional platforms including Stillman Digital and DeFi Alpha.
