A FRESH LOOK AT TRADITIONAL INVESTMENTS
Satoshi Capital Fiat Trading was formed to answer the investor appetite for new investment strategies within traditional markets. Our diverse team has worked at the largest quant macro hedge funds, developed artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize supply chains, and has built trading exchanges.
​
Our goal is to build solid investment strategies for traditional markets by leveraging principles from quantitative finance, while applying tools and strategies originally developed for crypto markets. The net result are novel investment strategies with outsized returns within traditional markets, without any crypto market exposure.
OUR STORY
Satoshi Capital Fiat Trading was founded in 2022 to craft investment strategies in traditional markets. Members of the team at Satoshi Capital Advisors, a leading blockchain consulting firm based on Wall Street, created the separate firm to focus on investing in non-crypto markets (i.e., fiat markets), by applying similar tools and processes as those successfully deployed by others in the crypto markets.
​
The team has partnered with a number of emerging managers to provide support in designing and optimizing strategies investing in traditional macroeconomic markets. Satoshi Capital Fiat Trading is preparing to launch several investment funds and is always on the lookout to incubate new talented managers with novel strategies.
OUR FAMILY OF INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Satoshi Capital Fiat Trading continously develops a collection of traditional asset strategies.
At Satoshi Capital Fiat Trading, we collaborate closely with emerging investment managers to coach them through strategy crafting, risk management development, legal and operational setup, and capital raising. After a rigourous vetting process, managers are selected to join our family of funds.
Our upcoming funds are highlighted below to showcase the type of managers and investment strategies we tend to work with,

This upcoming strategy invests in a combination of traditional assets whose aggregate returns are highly correlated with crypto markets. This strategy is perfect for investors that want exposure to crypto markets without actually investing in cryptocurrencies.
PNEUMA

Pneuma was originally developed for the crypto market structure, however, when applied to traditional markets it was found to be very successful and benefit from the abundant liquidity of traditional asset classes.
BLUESKY
Volatility targeted macroeconomics
Borrowing from the volatility targeting principles of quant finance, along with the trend-following signals of commodity pool operators, this strategy diversifies returns across multiple traditional asset clasess while keeping a constant volatility exposure.
