Though arbitrage is a fairly straightforward concept, it is good to establish a common base of knowledge for those involved with Veritas. Read a brief arbitrage primer: https://medium.com/@VeritasCapital_/a-brief-arbitrage-primer-f9c77522d1e5

When Bitcoin plunged in January, pricing gaps of nearly 10% emerged between exchanges as people rushed to sell without regard for best execution. Arbitrage is at its most profitable in times of turmoil.

A bounty program is not in scope at this time. There are two primary reasons for this:

1) Any form of compensation from the bounty program would have to be drawn from fund returns. It would not be appropriate to impose a tax on returns from those who have contributed funds in order to make bounty program payouts.

2) Bounty programs largely do not attract the type of investor that Veritas Capital is interested in. They tend to draw participants with limited capital and understanding, neither of which is desirable.

Due to the complex regulations involved with raising funds across jurisdictions, the team faces a risk of adverse regulatory action if operating publicly, particularly as we are based out of the especially strict environment of the United States. However, we understand that investors expect to know who they are dealing with, so one of the founders is relocating for broader timezone coverage in trading activities as well as a more lax regulatory environment. The relocation should be completed within a week, after which point the website will be updated with his profile. While that person will be the public face of the company, the total team is comprised of 3 people with a mix of portfolio management and quantitative trading experience.

Thomson Reuters reports that one in five financial firms is considering entering cryptocurrency trading within the next year. Veritas is already here.

As markets bounce back from yesterday's correction, a quick look at prices across exchanges reveals some appealing opportunities.

Here is an example with Ethereum. Over time and many trades, these small price differences add up to a substantial return.

The first Medium article, a primer on arbitrage and its application by Veritas Capital, will be published later this week.

With apologies to any real users, it appears that there are some spam accounts making meaningless posts in this thread.  Said clutter will be ignored going forward.

The core concept is quite simple - buy a cryptocurrency from one exchange at a lower price and immediately sell at another exchange for a higher price. This can absolutely be done by any trader with accounts on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges, and indeed all potential investors are encouraged to attempt an arbitrage trade of their own to get a better understanding of the trading approach and its viability.

There are, of course, several complicating factors that make reliably profitable arbitrage out of the reach of most traders. The prospectus / white paper summarizes the advantages of institutional arbitrage over retail traders. To bring up one example, a major drag on arbitrage returns is exchange trading fees, and a number of exchanges offer reduced fees for high-volume traders. Over time, this contributes significantly to higher returns on institutional-scale capital.

Excellent questions. Trade identification is fully automated and execution is partly so, but human approval is required for every trade. Due to the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency markets and lack of established trading best practices in this space, fully unattended program trading incurs significantly greater risks than in traditional markets. As a primary investment mandate of the Fund is to preserve capital, the additional return of full automation is outweighed by the small, but difficult to measure and potentially catastrophic risks.

The 20% return target is set based on the low end of performance from prior trading and historical backtesting. The best and most undeniable way to show performance, however, is with live results. One of the objectives of the Generational Fund pilot is to create a demonstrable track record of returns that investors can refer to.

Today's market events are a stark reminder that prices can move unexpectedly at any time. Arbitrage protects against these swings and secures consistent returns that only increase in market turmoil.

The interest is appreciated. Over time, various articles and essays will be published with the intention of providing deeper explanations of aspects of Veritas' approach that are of useful to potential investors.

That said, this is an investment vehicle. Prospective investors are expected to review the prospectus / white paper, as it outlines all relevant terms and details about the Generational Fund.

Additionally, the Fund is not for everyone, as described in the opening post. This is an appropriate investment for those who seek to hold a long ETH position while realizing additional returns, but not for frequent traders or those who do not desire exposure to ETH price volatility.

In keeping with its name, Veritas Capital seeks the 'true' worth of cryptocurrencies by arbitraging prices closer between exchanges, creating investor value in the process.

Veritas Capital arbitrages mispricing in cryptocurrency markets for stable 20%+ monthly returns. Fund pilot in progress.

The Fund is currently open to new investments.

Summary
When the same cryptocurrency is listed on multiple exchanges, there is often a slight mismatch in prices between exchanges. Arbitrage captures that price difference as profit without regards to price movement.
Veritas Capital draws on professional program trading experience in traditional capital markets to create and continually improve upon reliable and highly profitable automated trading methods. Additionally, traders monitor trades at all times to ensure that all trades are backed by appropriate analysis and properly executed. Veritas combines modern efficiency with human expertise. Investors receive a 20% target monthly return on invested ETH, distributed weekly. Veritas Capital will initiate a multi-week pilot on April 30 with limited capital to test the operational methods and structure of the Fund prior to a full launch. The duration of the pilot is anticipated to be between 2-6 weeks. Due to its limited scope and iterative nature, no fees will be assessed during the pilot.

With frequent single-day price fluctuations of over 10%, cryptocurrency investments demand a massive risk appetite that is intimidating to nearly any investor. By utilizing Ether (ETH) as the primary trading pair and base peg against which returns are measured, the Generational Fund is able to offer investors the ability to maintain exposure to price growth in the underlying Ethereum while realizing derisked profits via the arbitrage strategy.

Disclaimer and risks: Regardless of the strategies involved, there are inherent risks involved with cryptocurrencies and the trading thereof that lead to any activity in this space to be appropriately classified as highly speculative. While Veritas Capital has high confidence in its strategy and risk mitigation plans, investors should be aware that returns are not guaranteed and that cryptocurrency investments should only ever comprise a minority portion of total assets.
