As at 30 April 2026. Performance is unaudited and shown net of the Fund's standard management and performance fees and estimated fund-level expenses. From October 2024 through 31 December 2025, returns are shown on a pro forma net basis; from January 2026, returns reflect the actual unaudited administrator-calculated performance of a single participating share series and do not represent composite or class-wide performance. Annualised return and total return relate to the period 1 October 2024 to 30 April 2026 (19 months). Market references (BTC, ETH and the S&P Cryptocurrency Top 10 Index) are shown for context only; they are unmanaged, not directly investable and differ materially from the Fund in composition, volatility, liquidity and risk, and are not benchmarks. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and no assurance is given that any objective will be achieved.
A flexible, multi-strategy approach to digital-asset markets.
The Fund seeks measured participation in digital-asset markets by applying defined controls around exposure, liquidity and drawdown monitoring, adjusting as conditions change.
The Fund applies a quantitative, data-led process across a universe of liquid digital assets, reviewed and rebalanced on a regular basis. Nothing on this page constitutes an offer or investment advice. Investing in digital assets involves significant risk, including the possible loss of capital.
Portfolio construction across market regimes.
Hillroute Fund 1 uses a layered approach to digital-asset markets, combining directional participation, hedging tools and funding-oriented strategies within a risk-managed framework. The objective is not to eliminate risk, but to manage exposure, liquidity and drawdown behaviour across changing market conditions.
For illustrative purposes only. Nothing on this page constitutes an offer or investment advice. Investing in digital assets involves significant risk, including the possible loss of capital, and no representation is made that any objective will be achieved.
Risk management sits at the centre of how the Fund operates.
A defined framework governs exposure, liquidity, counterparties and custody, supported by independent administration and oversight. These controls are designed to manage risk; they do not eliminate it.
Investing in digital assets involves significant risk, including extreme price volatility; counterparty, exchange and custody risk; liquidity risk; evolving regulation; and the possible loss of capital. There is no assurance that any risk-management measure will be effective, and no representation is made that any objective will be achieved.
