The financial system as we know it is changing. Since the Financial Crisis of 2008, trust in the current economic system has been declining. Central banks continue printing large amounts of money, creating an artificially supported economy. The problems of this monetary policy are becoming increasingly visible: inflation is rising and a growing part of the population is aware that this cannot continue indefinitely.
Bitcoin was created for exactly this reason. It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or administrator, which is not dependent on policy making. It creates a fairer economic alternative. Since Bitcoin's success, thousands of cryptocurrencies have been introduced, each with its own application. Diversifying your portfolio early with a small allocation in cryptocurrency can offer excellent returns.
At Hodl, we provide easy access to cryptocurrency investment. There is no need to worry about different accounts, wallets and private keys.
You will get exposure to a broad selection of cryptocurrencies and will be able to enter and exit the Hodl funds monthly in your preferred currency.
We have put together an optimal investment strategy thanks to our experience in cryptocurrency and the traditional investment world.
The Hodl funds are actively managed and adjusted daily based on thorough research into the latest trends and opportunities in the market.
The Hodl funds use a traditional bottom-up investment model optimized for the cryptocurrency market.
Besides a traditional investing strategy, we complement the unique risk-return distribution with our algorithmic trading bots and various Decentralized Finances (DeFi) services.
We offer our investors the highest level of safety by incorporating Ledger Vault, the best-in-class cryptocurrency security solution.
In addition, our investment processes are carefully documented and our accounts are structurally audited by third parties.
The Hodl funds are daily adjusted by our analysts. We are always looking for new investment opportunities to optimize the return of the funds further. Hodl uses a bottom-up strategy to distribute the investments in our funds. Doing so can make an excellent risk-return analysis and give our investors the correct exposure to the cryptocurrency market.
Unlike the stock exchange, cryptocurrency markets are open 24 hours a day. To take advantage of this, we deploy our own algorithmic trading bots, which are active 24/7 and scale positions in and out at the most favorable moments.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) services are used to generate additional returns for our investors. This latest cryptocurrency and blockchain technology development offers additional yield opportunities. The DeFi services that Hodl focuses on are staking, running nodes, providing liquidity and airdrops.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is slightly different from investing in stocks or bonds, as this new investment category is still under constant development. While investing in cryptocurrencies brings risk and volatility, it also offers significant return opportunities. At Hodl, we recommend that investors adopt a long-term perspective when investing in this technology.
You can find more information about the risks and other essential things you should review in advance in the Investment Memorandum (IM) or Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). You can find these documents per fund on the fund page.
Hodl caters to serious investors by offering an actively managed cryptocurrency portfolio that can be easily accessed and exited on a monthly basis. Due to our experience in traditional finance, our portfolio is carefully constructed at a weighted risk/return ratio. Our algorithmic trading bots optimise our returns, and they strategically scale positions in and out 24/7.
Furthermore, we differentiate ourselves by participating in various DeFi services. Hodl helps to validate transactions, maintain blockchain networks and provide liquidity. Hodl's mutual funds are long-only, which means that we do not use short positions, leveraged trades or derivatives.
To become a Hodl investor, it’s important to first meet with our financial specialists at our office in Rotterdam or virtually if preferred. Together we assess the role of cryptocurrency in your investment portfolio. We will also review the necessary documentation, which you can complete at home.
When the verification process is finished, you can transfer the preferred investment to Hodl. On the last day of the month, your investment will officially enter the Hodl funds. Once you become a Hodler, you will gain access to our client portal where you can monitor the performance of your investment. To keep you informed, you will also receive biweekly and monthly updates via our investor newsletter.
Currently, it is not possible for Hodl to have direct supervision of authorities due to the unknown legal status of cryptocurrencies. Hodl aims to be at the forefront of regulation and our funds already comply to the latest regulations. All the Hodl funds are registered with the local authorities and have a KYC and AML policy based on local jurisdiction.
Hodl's fee structure consists of two components: the management fee and the performance fee.
Management fee:
Hodl's management fee stands at 0.5% per quarter on the invested assets. This management fee is calculated monthly and collected quarterly.
Performance fee:
Hodl's performance fee is 20% on the positive returns achieved and is calculated using a High Watermark in Net Asset Value (NAV). The performance fee is calculated monthly and deducted from the net income. The High Watermark is resetted annually.
The above costs are already included in the returns we communicate and therefore show the net result of the funds.
Investing independently in a new asset class can present quite some challenges. Especially when you are using your own cryptocurrency wallets and decentralized exchanges for the first time. Relying on a specialized and experienced partner can help you safely invest in this new asset class. At Hodl, security and reliability are our key cornerstones. The security of our participants' funds has our highest priority. We maintain the highest standards in the field of security and are at the forefront of implementing the latest laws and regulations.
For example, we store our funds in the industry-leading Ledger Vault cold storage solution whenever possible, we only use reliable exchanges with a proven track record and our processes are registered with the local authorities. On this page you can read more about the measures we take to secure our funds.
