What to know : Moon Pursuit Capital is launching a $100 million market-neutral quantitative crypto fund focused on lower-volatility, risk-adjusted returns. The strategy combines an always-on algorithmic engine with opportunistic bitcoin and altcoin trades layered on top. The firm's first fund has generated triple-digit returns since launch, including positive performance in a year of sharp drawdowns for digital assets.
Moon Pursuit Capital, a crypto-focused investment firm, is launching its second fund, a $100 million market-neutral vehicle designed to deliver what it said are consistent, risk-adjusted returns across digital asset cycles.
The new fund is built around an algorithmic trading strategy that aims to stay market-neutral and generate alpha without taking a strong directional view on prices, the company said in a press release Wednesday.
A market-neutral strategy is an investment approach designed to generate returns that are largely independent of broad market movements. The goal is to eliminate or greatly reduce exposure to overall market direction (beta) so that performance is driven by the manager’s asset selection, relative value judgments, or structural arbitrage rather than whether markets go up or down.
The fund's core engine is supplemented by two overlays: bitcoin accumulation at what the firm sees as cycle lows and short-term altcoin trades during periods of strong momentum, which are intended to boost returns and maintain a high Sharpe ratio through drawdowns.
The Sharpe ratio is a common finance metric that measures how much excess return an investment generates for each unit of risk taken.
“We are structuring the fund across multiple jurisdictions to align with the needs of a global investor base. This multi-jurisdictional framework improves accessibility while enhancing tax efficiency — an important consideration in today’s cross-border capital environment,” said Utkarsh Ahuja, founder and managing partner at Moon Pursuit Capital, in emailed comments.
The new fund builds on the first vehicle, which Moon Pursuit says is up more than 52% year-to-date and nearly 170% since its April 2024 launch. This performance shows that disciplined macro and quantitative strategies can still deliver strong returns in digital assets despite sharp volatility, the firm said.
The first fund currently has $30 million in assets under management, and is growing.
The launch coincides with a broader expansion of the firm, which plans new offices in the U.S., Dubai and Singapore and has added leadership roles across portfolio management, trading and fund administration.
Moon Pursuit pitches the fund as a way for institutional allocators to access systematic, rules-based exposure to digital assets with tighter volatility controls at a time when investors are increasingly focused on risk-managed strategies.
The rollout follows a volatile stretch for crypto. The market lost more than $40 billion in Oct. and many funds posted double-digit losses, while its strategy declined about 3%.
