Carry

The market-neutral Carry portfolio is designed to exploit cross-sectional carry premiums across the crypto market, capturing consistent returns from asset-specific carry premiums. By maintaining balanced long and short exposures, it minimizes directional risk while generating returns from structural inefficiencies. This approach is ideal for investors seeking stable, uncorrelated returns independent of broader market trends.

Its universe consists of the most liquid and actively traded assets, identified on rolling basis - various techniques employed to keep it both stable and relevant, as well as survivorship-bias free.

To balance each asset's risk contribution, positions are scaled according to the inverse of their rolling volatility.

The portfolio is rebalanced daily, at midnight UTC, weights are calculated at 11:55am UTC.
