Jan Jannsen on QuantumFund.ai’s crypto investment approach

0:01i'm ashlyn Addison from event chain for investmentpitch media and FinTech news network and today on blockchain interviews we have yan yan s'en the CEO of quantum fund yan welcome to the show it's a pleasure to have you today and it's good to see you coming in from Hong Kong thanks for having me here tonight it's a player you're very welcome so let's start talking about Quantum

0:26Fund please give us an overview of the fund and the financial solutions that you guys are providing so uh well just just to give a quick summary well we are the hedge fund based in Hong Kong and we are offering the cryptocurrency capital management for the private investors we had originally started back in 2015 as the group of independent investors and

0:53traders from the traditional markets and that apply the knowledge of trading market studies and is now using it in the crypto trading so what we were offering for our investors is the stable returns on the crypto assets within the strict risk management frameworks so basically I would say that the risks are

1:22the king here and any trading decisions are made only after the thorough assessment of the risks so we despite the tough correction in 2018 and downtrend we had managed to deliver the charges revenue of our trading copy Russian operations above 10% and our investment plans offers the double

1:51returning scale of 18 months investment plan Wow that's great yeah that's great to hear that you guys did well in 2018 and it was a hard year for everybody great many funds that play it smarter you are able to make money no matter which way the market moves so that's great so let's get a better picture of your fund are you is just investing in the top

2:16cryptocurrencies or are there security token plays or equities or what does a fun look like overall so basically we do the trading of top 20 the coins top 20 coins so basically that works perfect for us and at this point of time I believe and the team believes that you know the best thing in any kind of AI

2:43cos might be a little too dangerous and might be a little too risky for the capitals of our investors yeah so basically we know the trading we do the trading we're good at it and I've never been more sure about the tea on what victim so it's it's it has been going really well and it's a real pleasure for me to tell you that in our investors that even through the toughest time we

3:10managed to get above the target margin yeah that's very impressive and are you guys choosing the top 20 just purely based on liquidity and trading volume on exchanges or is there any fundamental analysis behind any of the coins specifically that you choose no basically the ones that you men just mentioned right now okay great and do you guys see yourself as unique from

3:36other crypto funds I know a lot of funds are starting to do top 10s or top 20s or top a hundreds you know what makes quantum funds so unique well I guess it's a combination of different expertise that we have a team the work flow guidelines and the risk assessment process so basically I would say the core idea lies within the quantitative analysis applied to cryptocurrencies

4:03markets so what I mentioned right now is that you need to know the the past to maybe find out what's gonna happen in the future so what we're doing right here right now is that we are studying the relevant data loss of data from peer from the markets based on the quantitative analysis our data analysts come up with the plan well let's say they define the trend of the market then

4:32it's used for our trading departments which we have we have both algorithmic trading implemented and the day trading partners so they implement the trading plan based on the quantitative analysis from our data analysts and after they come up with a trading plan it goes through the thorough risk assessment and basically that's how we get to the execution of trading plan so I guess I

5:01guess the quantitative analysis is one of the special things about the fund well I'm not even mentioning you know the software that we use well it's it's in-house software that allows us to perform operations you know the better percentages the better you know understanding what's happening on the market that's great yeah and our as your current investor base is it people in

5:29Hong Kong people in Asia or any investors allowed to you know reach out to you guys and you guys have a kyc system set up or how do you guys attract investors yes at this point of time we have BK okay oh I see system implemented but it only requires you to input your ID you and the registration currently the target regions for the fund would be divine defined as Asia and Europe at

6:01this point of time we don't accept investments from these citizen of the United States because of the you know the constantly changing legislation base pushed by SEC so apart from that well everybody is welcome to join that's great that's great and I know what you mean about the United States so how big is the fund right now and are you guys

6:28projecting on growing a fund and if you are you know what would you like the fun size to be in the future well let's put it this like the the current of the current income the capitalization of the fund allows us to maintain you know the whole system that has been going well for a while so I mean that to keep up facility staff you know the maintenance of our

6:58software solutions but definitely in the future we have plans to you know to upscale the funds operations maybe maybe by introducing some solutions like wallets or especially we also focus on the solutions for the investors that are that they're looking for the big investments so just may try

7:28to make things for them easier that's great and as a regular fund I would expect you guys have some kind of profit model are you guys taking management fees on the investments or are you working on a profit model and what is your as is revenue sources so basically it all it is all within the investments plan that we have so basically the percentage of the the margin percentage

7:57of our operations is divided between the fund and the investors based on the invested amount so basically we have 50 50 40 60 and 30 70 plan which is the first one is the commission from the percentage that goes to the investor and the second one is the commission that the fan tips okay great so we're all hoping that the 2019 crypto markets will

8:29flourish and of course that will help the fund you know do you guys have any plans to change any of the strategies in the fund or are you gonna stick to the top 20 and just wait for the bull market to rise up or what specifically on your roadmap for 2019 do you guys have planned well yeah it's it would be fair to say that we have lots of ideas but you know

8:54just I'm not thinking that it's very important you notice do not scatter our attention no on all the things so the plan for this year is to grow off the capitalization over at the fund to maintain the margin indicators and well definitely we expect the booze run to be happening in 2019 2020 to the vowel series of indicators such as the Bitcoin

9:26helping reward such as institutional players such as bucks coming to the game and well obviously the lighting Network and presentation so we believe that all these factors combined will provide good growth for the cryptocurrencies and this year so basically we're are accumulating to the capital and whilst middle maintaining the stable income so

9:55basically it's a yet another great thing for the potential investors so you get it Wow let's say why why this product is actually great because well let's say you are well you know nothing about the cryptocurrencies but well you have some stored capital and you're looking for some passive income well that's thing for you if you have stored some

10:23cryptocurrencies but you don't understand that you know performance some any trading so investments on your roll can be excessively risky so we offer the passive income and well if the market shows some really good recovery and well now our studies show that the 2018 show a correction yes and the growth of the cryptocurrencies well it's basically you have a chance to about to

10:51get the double bracket definitely ya know the correction seems like for the most part it's done with Bitcoin now and and we're really just playing that waiting game and as you touched on the Bitcoin having reward is coming up but what I believe that's you know a year or a little bit more away in 2020 and we also have the institutional investors which is great

11:13there's been a lot of ETF you know in the state's there's been a lot of talk back and forth with a lot of delays and as well with night lightning that were coming out and theory I'm scaling their protocol as well it seems like there's there always has a strong potential for delays so really it's just about playing that that patience game and who can be

11:31patient absolutely absolutely but you know the core idea the core idea remains that we need to maintain and we will the ability to deliver these stable profits at the controllable risks and no matter what's happening to the market so basically and it shows some positive recovery but it's it's really good for us as well but it's not that the whole model of the fund

11:58operations is just based on you know on waiting for some corrections to be happening on the market definitely I know you have to be actively watching the markets all the time especially in blockchain because the markets are 24 hours this isn't your traditional stock market so yawn what other obstacles do you foresee the fund going through is just having to you know be constantly

12:20watching and making moves all the time or what other obstacles do you guys see you know frankly speaking maybe maybe it would be a little bit too cocky for me to say that but I'm pretty sure about whatever happens with the trading operations I'm pretty sure I'm seeing that the team is doing an amazing job and sometimes I you know even think that well these guys know the future somehow

12:48but but absolutely well the the general is edid is just to maintain you know the stable profits coming definitely and I'm glad that you guys have done that so far and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress in the next time that we speak on coming months so if you guys are looking for more investors or just people to follow the project what is the
