Investment Strategy

Distributed Global Fund II is a long-only, stage agnostic investor in protocols.

They invest in the tokens of established protocols and in the seed and pre-Initial Coin Offering rounds of early stage protocols. In either case, Distributed Global looks for protocols that are well positioned to capture market share from centralized incumbents. The fund focuses on protocols that are tokenized, open source and decentralized. [1]

The Distributed Global Fund II does not employ leverage and seeks to be tax efficient, allowing investors broad exposure to this new digital asset class while reducing taxable events, transaction costs and exposure to unnecessary risks.
