Kenetic bucks Crypto Market Trend with 77% YTD Portfolio Return

Partnering with VS Asia to offer Pro Investors access to Crypto Funds

HONG KONG, Nov 16, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - Kenetic, a blockchain investment and advisory firm based in Hong Kong, affirmed that its proprietary investment portfolio recorded year-to-date returns of 77% as of October 31, against a backdrop of major losses in the cryptocurrency markets; Bitcoin has fallen over 50 percent in 2018 and the overall crypto market is down around 65%.

Kenetic's proprietary investment portfolio is comprised of its best ideas that have undergone thorough due diligence by its experienced investment team. Its alpha-generating strategies are largely focused on early stage investments, catalyst driven events and macro themes, complemented by prudent risk management and proprietary in-house trading tools.

"As active leaders in the global blockchain community, we see where the strongest investment opportunities lie and rising trends that are influencing traditional industries," said Daniel Weinberg, CEO of Kenetic. "During this volatile period, our proprietary investment portfolio continued to outperform many crypto funds as a result of our deep institutional investment experience and strong risk management."

To facilitate professional investor access to these opportunities, Kenetic and Venture Smart Asia Limited (VS Asia), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Venture Smart Financial Group (VSFG) and a company licensed by the SFC in Hong Kong that provides private and institutional asset management services, have established a strategic partnership that will give qualified professional investors access to cryptocurrency investment funds.
