Four Pillars

Welcome to Varys Capital
Varys Capital is a total return fund providing secure access to the digital asset class through its dual approach to investment returns in venture capital and quantitative trading strategies.

In order to accomplish this goal, Varys Capital relies on its 4 Pillars.
01
Network
Network
Relationships are integral to building any business resilient to market cycles. Data, deal flow, capital, and alpha are an interconnected web resting upon the foundation of familiarity, resourcefulness, and transparency. Value-add for a portfolio company takes the shape of a necessary introduction. Gaining insight into a discretionary trade hinges on intel gathered from colleagues. You co-invest with those you trust, while investors rely on your market visibility communicated over a cup of coffee to make informed decisions.
02
Discipline
Discipline
Each trade, venture investment, liquidity contribution, and market expansion effort is linked to a methodical decision-making process. Internal and external checks and balances are required to mitigate risk while intensifying returns. A firm can set itself apart only through a comprehensive framework that allows for agility, utilizing quantitative processing, qualitative considerations, data-driven analysis, statistical modeling, and a scientific approach.
03
Education
Education
Blockchain adoption occurs through education and acceptance. Curiosity is the instigator, while application is the primer for a network effect. We strive to simplify the most nuanced parts of this expansive technology. Decentralization comes at a cost of a steep learning curve, yet we aim to chisel the trajectory of the slope by making asset ownership more accessible and mainstream. The argument for exposure to this fast-maturing asset class becomes more apparent as the industry evolves.
04
Integration
Integration
Whether it is ensuring the safe passage of goods from the Far East reaching a western harbor, a doctor being able to provide more cost-effective treatment to someone in need, or improved internet connection in impoverished enclaves, we firmly believe that blockchain technology, likened to the internet, can advance mankind forward into uncharted territory. Every capable founder we support is offered an opportunity to contribute to this paradigm shift.

Venture

Equity and Token Investments (VARVCF)
VARVCF SP1 is an early-stage fund backing blockchain-enabled FinTech/Trade and Infrastructure companies. Through our unique value extraction model, the fund targets outsized returns distributed to investors within the first two years of the fund's life.

Varys Capital invests in equity, tokens, and liquid positions. Additionally, the fund provides liquidity to support our portfolio companies.
01
Equity
The fund invests in equity, sourcing, supporting, and reinforcing companies with a sustainable revenue model and defined path to exit. Our long-standing reputation and technical edge allow us to see virtually every deal in the market and lead most portfolio company investments.
02
Token
Token investments allow for greater liquidity that can be leveraged to generate returns outside of equity-based exits. Oftentimes, equity investments are combined with a token warrant, ensuring the upside of both investment functions, thereby dissipating risk.
03
Liquidity
This approach supports a company's growth while acting as a hedge for token and equity-based positions. Liquidity contributions also strengthen a company by adding depth to its tradable asset pool and allowing for a more efficient marketplace.

Trading

Quantitative Multi-Strategy Approach (VARDFI)
Varys' quantitatively-driven, ultra-low-latency and high-frequency strategy stack, seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns and minimize downside volatility, leveraging both to exploit profit-rich opportunities.

Asymmetrically weighted position and risk exposure enable the trading desk to not only constantly seek alpha, but to minimize risk concurrently.
01
Methodology
Methodology

The foundational goal is to outperform traditional indices, Bitcoin, and Ethereum over a three-year timeframe, justifying exposure to this alternative asset class.

Varys Capital follows a quantitative, data-driven approach to trade relative value (currency vs. currency), long and short.

02
Volatility
Volatility

The fund is agnostic on market direction, and our returns are positively correlated with volatility – the greater the daily variability, the greater our opportunity for alpha.

Most strategies are market-neutral (delta-neutral) and mitigate volatility with the aid of proprietary indicators and effective risk mitigation measures with minimal max drawdown.

The fund provides liquidity and earns bid-ask spreads by offering dynamic quotes in the market and optimizing positions based on market conditions. Robust single-exchange and cross-exchange hedging techniques help reduce risk exposure.

03
Execution
Execution

The fund leverages ultra-low latency technology to deploy quant-driven models 24 hours a day. Continuous manual (human) oversight is combined with discretionary strategic overlays to ensure a consistent, systematic approach to risk management.

Some strategies the fund executes would fall into the classification of HFT (high-frequency trading). This type of automated system allows market scanning for information and responds faster than any human possibly could.

04
Services
Services

Varys Capital offers numerous services to clients, such as private wealth management (PWM), whereby a selection of strategies is designed and deployed to meet the client's short-term/long-term goals, desired exposure, and risk tolerance.

Market-making for exchanges and blockchain companies, combined with advisory, liquidity provisioning, treasury management, and go-to-market strategy support, are other ways we continually enrich the broader digital asset ecosystem.
