returning 47% over the past 3 months and 70.1% since inception in May 2020.
• 2020 was a turning point in the global economy with the Pandemic exposing

• Digital currencies became accepted as a mainstream investment due to the

1. Whether a large monetary overhang can stoke consumer price inflation

2. Are corporate earnings going to justify the current lofty equity valuations?
3. Can interest rates go any lower or stay this flat indefinitely?
4. Is real estate immune from this crisis given the continued growth in online away
from bricks and mortar and rising vacancies?
5. Is expansion of alternative uncorrelated investments in a portfolio an option or
a necessity?
