Portfolio manager’s comment
Bitcoin returned −17.55% in November, and Ether fell by more. Classic Stable returned +5.17% in the same month, because the algorithms can earn on falling prices as well as rising ones.
Classic Diversified returned −3.54%. The loss came mainly from the fall in the bitcoin held in its collateral. It was a fraction of the fall in Bitcoin itself.
Two collateral types, one signal
Both strategies run the same long-short signal, so the difference between them comes from collateral. When bitcoin rises, Classic Diversified gains from its bitcoin holding. When bitcoin falls, as in November, it bears part of the decline.
The results over different periods show that difference. Over 12 months, Classic Stable returned +44.07% and Classic Diversified +38.49%. Since 1 January 2024, Classic Diversified has returned +467% and Classic Stable +332%, with reinvestment and before performance fees.
Bitcoin returned +105% over the same period since 1 January 2024. A single month is a short segment of that record, and the strategies are better judged over longer periods than over one month.
