Meet the team behind Canadian fintech hedge fund, KB Crypto - Kalkine Media

In last few years, options for one to invest their savings have ballooned like never before.   New investment instruments have made inroads into portfolios of many new investors and also old investors despite many naysayers casting doubts. Many investors are now looking beyond conventional assets like term deposits, gold and bonds.

Decades ago, instruments like shares and mutual funds took the shine off traditional assets like physical gold. Now crypto assets are having the same impact on other assets. Many are gung-ho and see cryptos as the next big thing in the making.

But similar to risks which prevail in the stock market from insider trading to fund managers placing their interests above the interests of their clients, risks are present in the crypto market as well. This can be one reason why regulators in Canada and elsewhere are treading with caution on crypto assets.

Given this backdrop, an important question that begs to be answered is, what should you seek when entrusting someone with the mandate of wealth creation?

Assurances of high returns alone?

But returns are always the product of prudence and expertise of a fund manager. This is why picking the right team to entrust your money to is of high importance, more than anything else.
