To assist you in understanding some of these risks, we have set out a non-exhaustive list below which sets out some of the main risks associated with investing in Crypto Assets:

  • Crypto Assets are extremely volatile and you can experience large fluctuations in value over very short periods of time. This means that the risk of loss when Trading Crypto Asset can be substantial and your investment in Crypto Assets could lose all of its value.
  • Crypto assets are currently unregulated in South Africa. This means that there is no regulatory oversight and regulatory protection when investing in crypto assets.
  • Crypto exchanges may be vulnerable to hacking, theft and other malicious activities.
  • Crypto assets are part of a new and rapidly evolving industry which is subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
    You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such investment is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. You should not invest more than you are prepared to lose.

What are some of the benefits of investing in the EC10 Crypto Asset Bundle?

 

  • Crypto is very risky but investing in an index based strategy such as EC10 means it's well diversified. Why? Because instead of holding one Crypto Asset such as Bitcoin (i.e. all your eggs in one basket) – you can buy the EC10 Crypto Asset Bundle, a bundle of the top 10 Crypto Assets weighted by market cap, which gives you exposure to the performance of all Top 10 Crypto Assets as opposed to just one asset.
  • A major benefit of this is that should one particular Crypto Asset lose it’s shine and begin to drop outside of the Top 10 Crypto Assets, it will be removed from the EC10 Index and a new Crypto Asset will take its place. This ensures that you don’t hold onto a depreciating Crypto Asset indefinitely and are always exposed to the top performers.
  • Investing on ordinary crypto exchanges can be risky because often these exchanges have experienced hacks and fraud. The Crypto Assets in the EC10 Crypto Asset Bundle are held in a highly secure institutional grade custody solution in the name of FWT Nominees on your behalf. We use a US-based regulated custodian company called BitGo Trust, where assets are placed in deep cold storage in a highly secure, multi-signature and insured facility ($100m).
  • We also make use of our own multi-signature cold storage facility secured in a bank vault to keep liquid assets safe.
