53min | Discussed the new Smart Portfolio, Napoleon-X– Crypto Algo Partner Portfolio.
This new, very exciting partner portfolio was opened this morning for investment. NapoleonX has developed machine learning-driven investment strategies and has initially offered a crypto portfolio on eToro. Its proposed strategy takes long-only positions in the top 5 crypto assets (BTC/ETH/EOS/LTC/XRP) with low-frequency rebalancing to actively manage the cryptocurrencies’ exposure.
The rebalancing mechanism is 100% quant-based and has been developed internally by its research team. Historically, this strategy has enabled investors to participate in the crypto bull run while limiting the downside in more turbulent markets.
