Financial institutions can now capitalize on the revolutionary nature of digital assets in a safe, compliant, and regulated environment.
First fund already operational: M11 Liquid Token Fund, an actively managed and diversified portfolio of promising crypto assets.
11 May 2023 – M11 Group has launched M11 Funds; AIFMD regulated open-end alternative investment funds based on liquid strategies that center around digital assets, also known as crypto assets. This means that wealth managers, family offices & private banks can now capitalize on the revolutionary nature of digital assets by making this part of their strategic asset allocation. The new business operates as a separate entity but is part of M11 Group, the same parent company as Maven 11 that is known for its venture capital investments in early-stage crypto protocols.
M11 Funds will offer fully regulated funds that comply with European fund regulations. This sets them apart from other asset managers in the digital asset industry as they will be among the first to offer such funds. Joost van der Plas, CEO of M11 Group “Our partnerships with leading fund managers, administrators, and custodians ensure that our fully regulated funds are not only compliant with regulations but also effectively managed and secure. We believe that trust and transparency are essential in this rapidly evolving industry, and our focus on regulation reflects our commitment to building a sustainable and trustworthy ecosystem for digital assets”.
By choosing an institutional-grade approach, M11 Funds has created a gateway for institutional investors, wealth managers, and family offices to access the immense potential of the digital assets space effortlessly and securely. According to Martijn van Veen, Managing Director of M11 Funds, "We have developed the funds with institutional investors in mind, taking into account investment, operational, and regulatory considerations. In the past period, we have shared our plans with multiple private banks and wealth managers across Europe, and we are confident that this is the path we need to follow."
M11 Funds already launched its first investment vehicle, the Liquid Token Fund (ISIN LI1259630690) which aims to create an actively managed, diversified portfolio of highly liquid digital assets that are considered to have the most potential in the industry. According to Martijn van Veen, the timing of the fund launch is significant: "The past year has been characterized by major macroeconomic and cryptocurrency industry events that have led to a sharp decline in valuations and prices. However, M11Funds is closely monitoring several projects that have made significant fundamental progress during the same period, and as a result, this presents an unprecedented opportunity to establish this portfolio."
The team behind M11 Funds has a wealth of experience in the industry, having been involved since 2011 and managing investments for clients since 2017. Moreover, being part of the M11 Group has given them significant leverage. Joost van der Plas explained, "As a group, we have conducted extensive research on over 3000 projects, published dozens of research articles, and established deep connections in the ecosystem through all of our activities."
