Digital Asset Momentum Fund Turns Three

The lights go out, people huddle together, the room is lit only by the candles on the cake, and the traditional “Happy Birthday to You” begins… That’s right, Digital Asset Momentum has come of age.

If it were a person, at three years old it would still be in preschool. But in our industry, at three years old you’re already celebrating your “18th birthday”: you’ve seen enough to know your way around, you have a track record that speaks for itself, and you’re starting to be treated like a real adult. Our strategy reaches this milestone with the same energy: young, yes, but already with a history that matters.

Digital Asset Momentum, Augmenta SICAV’s first flagship strategy, marks three years since its launch, consolidating its track record within a segment that is still young but increasingly significant for the financial industry. Three years may still seem like a short time, but it’s the “oldest” UCITS fund focused on digital assets in Europe!

When the fund was launched, access to digital assets through regulated instruments was still limited. For many investors, gaining exposure to this universe meant buying cryptocurrencies directly, using exchanges, dealing with custody issues, or relying on instruments with limited access that weren’t always easily integrated into traditional portfolios.

Digital Asset Momentum was created precisely to address this need: to offer professional, liquid, and regulated access to the digital asset ecosystem.

The fund was the first UCITS product in Europe to offer retail investors access to the world of digital assets, and it achieves active exposure in this sector through companies operating across the blockchain value chain—such as mining, exchanges, and digital platforms; hardware infrastructure; corporate consulting; payments; tokenization; semiconductors; and technology companies linked to the development of the digital economy. It may also invest in ETPs that offer direct exposure to digital assets within the regulatory limit of 10%.

The management process is based on quantitative “augmented intelligence” models. This approach aims to optimally combine human and artificial intelligence, making it particularly well-suited for managing digital assets, which are rooted in mathematics and cryptography. The strategy’s objective is to capitalize on favorable market conditions while adjusting exposure in more complex environments, with a particular focus on volatility management and risk control—key factors in a sector characterized by strong cyclicality, high dispersion, and significant market movements.

Over the past three years, however, the sector has been maturing, and we have witnessed the establishment of a clear regulatory framework, the entry of major international asset managers, and the development of instruments listed on all international exchanges. Furthermore, we see on the horizon growth in stablecoins and tokenized financial and real-world assets, as well as the gradual integration of blockchain technology into traditional financial markets.

Digital Asset Momentum is now positioned as a satellite solution for investors with an appropriate risk profile who are interested in participating in the structural trend of digital assets through a fund that has already been tested in the field and has successfully navigated various market phases.

Reaching the three-year milestone represents an important step in the strategy’s journey and confirms our commitment to offering investors orderly, professional, and controlled access to an investment universe destined to play an increasingly significant role in the evolution of financial markets.

And to those who might point out that it’s only been three years—not five or ten—we’d respond that while that’s true, if we look at its “classmates,” many are still in diapers. It, on the other hand, has already experienced real markets, real volatility, and difficult decisions. It’s young, but it’s also the only one that can afford to play the role of the “wise old one” in the group. And in our industry, that makes all the difference.
