You Don’t Need a View on Crypto to Generate Alpha – Insights from a Family office
Watch Rachel Pether (Head of Middle East at 3iQ) and Julien Tizot (CIO at ARAS Single Family Office) discuss how family offices are moving beyond passive Bitcoin exposure – and turning digital asset market inefficiencies into a source of returns.
At the center of the discussion is Further x 3iQ Alpha Digital, a market-neutral, multi-strategy hedge fund designed to provide risk-managed exposure to digital assets, while capturing alpha across a fragmented and rapidly evolving market.
While many investors still see crypto as a directional bet, sophisticated allocators are taking a different approach: using market structure, not market timing, to generate returns.
In this conversation, Julien shares how his family office evolved from simply holding Bitcoin to putting it to work – capturing opportunities across a 24/7, globally distributed market.
"The structure of digital asset markets continues to create meaningful inefficiencies. Unlike traditional markets, these inefficiencies are driven by fragmentation, evolving infrastructure, and a rapidly growing derivatives ecosystem. For sophisticated investors, this opens the door to strategies that aim to generate alpha regardless of market direction."
Key insights from the discussion:
-
Why you don’t need a bullish (or bearish) view on crypto to generate returns
-
How structural inefficiencies across exchanges, derivatives, and liquidity create persistent alpha opportunities
-
Why market-neutral, multi-strategy approaches can deliver more consistent returns
-
How some investors are using Bitcoin itself to generate additional Bitcoin, not just price exposure
-
Why digital assets may be one of the most compelling environments today for hedge fund-style strategies
