3iQ, a digital asset solution provider, has partnered with Further, an institutional investment solutions provider, to start a digital asset multi-strategy hedge fund tailored to institutional and sophisticated investors.
The partnership combines 3iQ’s infrastructure and institutional-grade digital asset solutions and Further’s deep understanding of the digital asset and blockchain environments.
The collaboration represents a step towards providing solutions within a sovereign-backed institutional framework.
3iQ and Further seek to overcome the barriers faced by institutions and sophisticated investors when allocating to digital assets, from custody concerns and operational complexity to volatility.
The initiative will offer a transparent, secure, and risk-managed approach to digital asset exposure, while addressing risk-adjusted returns.
Faisa Al Hammadi, managing partner at Further, says “"This partnership with 3iQ reflects our conviction that digital assets are becoming a permanent allocation in institutional portfolios.
“By combining our regional expertise and investor relationships with 3iQ's proven infrastructure and investment acumen, we are creating an innovative solution that lowers barriers to entry while upholding the highest standards of governance, transparency, and security.”
Pascal St-Jean, president and CEO at 3iQ, adds: "Institutions are seeking ways to participate in digital asset markets without compromising on security or governance. Together with Further, we are creating a sovereign-backed, risk-managed solution that enables institutions and investors to allocate easily and securely in digital assets, while benefiting from rigorous professional oversight and the potential for market alpha."
