IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
* Redemptions may be suspended under specific market conditions, as outlined in the Fund’s offering documents.
The Peridot Investment Management – Digital Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) is a private investment vehicle and is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As such, it is not subject to the same regulatory protectionsas mutual funds or exchange-traded funds governed by that Act. The Fund may rely on various regulatory exemptions, including exemptions from Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) registration, where applicable. For example, the Fund intends to qualify under CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(3), which provides exemptions for certain private pools from registration as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO), subject to specific trading limitations, investor qualifications, and marketing restrictions.
This offering is available to Qualified Purchasers only. Prospective investors should carefully review the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and consult with legal, tax, and financial advisors before making an investment decision. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee of achieving investment objectives, and the risk of total capital loss exists.
The Fund pursues capital appreciation by investing in digital assets, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, protocol tokens, decentralized applications (dApps), and other blockchain-based instruments. The strategy is thesis-driven, with a focus on 5–30 digital assets that demonstrate high potential relative to their current market valuation (typically above $100 million in market cap). The Fund's portfolio is designed with adaptive allocation, generally investing 70–90% of assets in digital tokens, with the remainder deployed in yield-generating strategies like staking and digital asset lending, including both centralized and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. The Fund may also invest in public or private securities issued by blockchain-related companies.
Peridot applies a risk-aware, valuation-driven approach to digital asset selection, incorporating factors such as project utility, growth outlook, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem adoption. In adverse market conditions, the Fund may reallocate to reduce downside exposure or enhance liquidity.
Performance outcomes may differ materially between investors due to various factors such as investment timing, fees, cash flows, redemptions, and participation in specific transactions. Individual investor performance is reflected in the monthly statements issued by the Fund's administrator.
Key Risks
Investments in digital assets are highly speculative and volatile, subject to a variety of risks including, but not limited to:
- Regulatory uncertainty and the potential for evolving legal frameworks;
- Technological risks, such as smart contract failures, software bugs, and reliance on third-party custody solutions;
- Cybersecurity threats, including wallet breaches, phishing, or loss of private keys;
- Liquidity limitations and price discovery challenges due to fragmented markets and lack of centralized pricing;
- Market manipulation, forks, airdrops, and token rebasing;
- Operational risks associated with exchanges (centralized and decentralized), custodians, and protocol governance;
- Limited transparency and track records of Web3 projects and blockchain companies.
Digital assets and blockchain-based investments are not insured by the FDIC or SIPC. They are not backed by any government, and market participants often operate without the regulatory oversight common in traditional financial markets.
Digital assets referenced may include cryptocurrencies, tokens, NFTs, blockchain-based protocols, stablecoins, and synthetic instruments. Similarly, Web3 companies include entities involved in the design, development, or use of blockchain, digital asset infrastructure, or cryptographic technologies.
Prospective investors must be capable of independently assessing and bearing the risks associated with this asset class. This investment should only be considered by those with a high risk tolerance and long-term investment horizon. Performance is not guaranteed and past performance is not indicative of future results.
