HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3iQ Corp. (“3iQ”), a pioneer in digital asset management, today announced it has partnered with CoinDesk Indices, a leading provider of digital asset indices since 2014, to make the CoinDesk 20 Index available in several fund structures globally, starting with CoinDesk 20 SP (the “Fund”), a Segregated Portfolio Company of 3iQ Investment Partners SPC.
This partnership marks a milestone in 3iQ’s mission to bring clients innovative investment products and provide global investors desired access to a diversified digital asset portfolio as they seek to expand their exposure beyond bitcoin.
The collaboration continues the relationship between two trusted organizations with expertise in offering investor access and choice. Designed for scalability, the CoinDesk 20 tracks the performance of top digital assets, applying a capped market capitalization-weighted methodology to improve diversification, similar to major equity indexes. The Fund will follow all 20 constituents in the index.
"CoinDesk Indices provides a highly liquid and tradeable means to access digital assets," said Pascal St-Jean, President & CEO of 3iQ. "Advisors have an appetite for digital assets but don’t have the conviction to track assets beyond Bitcoin. This offering opens up broad-based exposure as they seek a diversified digital asset portfolio.”
“The CoinDesk 20 has been embraced by leading market-making firms, unlocking the digital asset opportunity in one step,” said Alan Campbell, President of CoinDesk Indices. “We are thrilled 3iQ will enable investors worldwide to access the CoinDesk 20, addressing the growing need for diversified digital asset exposure.”
