Fund Overview

The Fund is established as an Australian feeder vehicle with the investment objective of achieving long-term capital appreciation in its Net Asset Value through its investment in the Master Fund. The Fund operates under a master-feeder structure, whereby it invests substantially all of its assets in the Vikara Fund, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and registered as a mutual fund in the Cayman Islands.

The investment strategy of the Master Fund is to invest in Web3 focused listed Crypto Assets. The Fund will construct a diversified long-only portfolio of tokens, regularly assessing and managing risk, position sizing, and portfolio holdings.

In selecting Crypto Asset investments, the Investment Manager applies top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis with a valuation overlay and portfolio monitoring. The investment process follows a rigorous due diligence and valuation framework.
