The market is very hard to beat

According to S&P SPIVA, between 80-90% of large cap equity funds worldwide underperformed the S&P 500 over a period of 15 years. 

The same can be expected for crypto assets.

Investors require low entry barriers

Crypto assets are extremely dynamic. Self-constructed portfolios require
deep knowledge of multiple sectors within the space.

A managed index is the easiest way to buy into the market.

Attractive for retail and institutions

Single crypto wrappers (e.g. Bitcoin only, Ethereum only) are only attractive for retail investors due to high costs and issuer risks. 

Index trackers offer added value to institutional and retail investors.

Felix Fernandez, CEO of 21e6 Capital, presents a new approach to creating a crypto-index benchmark.

The sectors are based on the ITSA classification frameworks, which are the most widely used in the world.

Index Objectives

Our approach, the “21e6 Crypto Sector Indices” solves several index issues still prevailing in current solutions.

Structured Market Classification

Based on a broadly recognized classification by ITSA, we achieve better market representation and add value through innovative crypto sector indices.

Enhanced Capital Weighting

Mathematical procedures developed by OpenMetrics Solutions include market cap dampening factors to reduce concentration and achieve higher diversification.

Resistance Against Short-Term Visitors

The index methodology is outlier resistant and significantly reduces the risk of including a short-term visitor into any index during volatile market periods.

Significant Potential for Future Growth

2% of the assets in stock and bond markets combined (218 Tn.) may move to crypto assets in the next years. This means approx.: 4.5 Tn. additional inflow, leading to 6 Tn. crypto asset market cap.

A benchmark index family could capture 1% of these 6 trillion, creating a liquidity pool of approximately 60 billion.
