*Our net performance estimate is derived from performance estimates from each underlying fund in our portfolio. As we do not have final official statements from all underlying funds, our estimated performance will be adjusted as we receive more official statements, but is our best estimate as of the time of this email. Note: this is based on an investor who invested since inception in our onshore feeder with a 2/20 fee structure and high water mark. Depending on your fee structure, feeder structure and timing of investment, it would differ your actual net performance.
*Pro forma performance, representing the average annualized performance from January 2019 through July 2023, net of all fees, for the portfolio of underlying funds that Amphibian Fund invested in beginning on August 1 2023, if the same portfolio had been fully invested as of January 2019 with no rebalancing. Please note each fund was added to the portfolio at a different time, and beginning on August 1, 2023 actual net fund performance is included. All underlying fund performance has been included from the date each fund was added to the portfolio. Note each underlying fund is the best estimate we have for the BTC share class. Not all were live as long as USD funds (so subtracted off funding costs etc for those time periods). This fund selection mirrors our latest ETH portfolio and a number of lessons from 13+ months of live data with that portfolio. In years prior to 2023, we’ve done our best to keep allocations to the max limits and adjust accordingly. Also know weightings over time would be slightly inaccurate as month on month weightings shift, depending on terms.

This fund selection mirrors our latest ETH portfolio and a number of lessons from 13+ months of live data with that portfolio ** Not a promise or guarantee the crypto 4 year cycle will continue *** Only one major counterparty ‘exchange’ event impacted our underlying funds by more than 3% total AUM in the last 5 years. Avoided all others. That was with FTX and approx 4.5%-6% impact on our USD & ETH fund. This breaks down to 8.5% exposure on USD, current bids on secondary markets and potential forecasts indicate a likelihood to recover 30c-50c on the dollar. This translates to 4.5%-6% potential impact). Outside of this, we had one other event from an underlying fund with 2.7% portfolio drawdown. This translates to approximately 1.54% average counterparty risk across the last 5 years. Our max portfolio strategy drawdown monthly target is < 1.5%, our max counterparty drawdown target is less than one year of yield target with -9.9%.
**Estimate based on daily data from the underlying funds. It reflects the risk-adjusted performance of the portfolio but should be viewed as indicative rather than precise, given the inherent variability in daily data and external factors affecting the portfolio’s returns.

“I’m an investor in Amphibian because I believe they’re the best crypto quant fund of funds. The return on my ETH has far exceeded my expectations, and there’s a level of consistency and repeatability that shows they have strong manager selection skills. This is a fund that operates with discipline and the foresight needed in digital assets.”
I had moved a substantial part of my portfolio from tech stocks into the ETH fund of funds, just before the FTX chaos hit. The risk and volatility in late 2022 were beyond anything I’d faced, but Amphibian's team was ready. Todd and James calmed my nerves with clear, frequent updates and even personal conversations. Now, I feel more informed and better positioned for long-term gains, thanks to their unique strategy and seasoned leadership.
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Amphibian Capital for nearly three years. Their diligence in analyzing our trades and strategy is both thorough and highly specific. They possess a deep understanding of various risk types and the corresponding expected returns. Amphibian Capital stands out as the most sophisticated and knowledgeable fund of funds I’ve encountered in this industry.""
“We’ve seen James and his team at Amphibian consistently deliver results with a disciplined approach. Our confidence as experienced allocators is unwavering.”
"I have a lot of confidence in Amphibian Capital's team and their thoughtful, steady approach to navigating the volatile world we live in. Their performance has been stellar since I invested. What I value the most is the trust I’ve built with their leadership. The team is highly skilled and genuinely focused on aligning with their investors’ goals. I feel like a true partner in their journey, which has been a meaningful experience and most importantly we are all aligned in having pure intention of giving back via donating a large proportion of profits to worthwhile causes."
"I have been very pleased with the consistent performance of the funds I am invested in and the professionalism of team at Amphibian Capital. The balance between risk and performance is well articulated and transparent and the founders have always been generous with their time to provide market insight and answer questions. Whilst the BTC and ETC funds don’t have a long track record, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amphibian Capital to friends and colleagues due to reasons aforementioned, including reliability."
