2018 has been characterised by frequent peaks and troughs in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, yet there remains an unwavering army of seasoned investors who are keen to invest in blockchain technology. Many experts are in agreement that it will become an integral part of the future of securing data and will help to eliminate issues like the recent data breaches at the NHS and British Airways.

The problem for many investors is the uncertainty and confusion associated with blockchain and cryptocurrency investments.  Firstly, identifying listed companies which are directly involved in blockchain takes time and due diligence.  Secondly, if looking to invest in private companies, you need to know someone in the business will be willing to sell a stake – and then there is the risk that you may never be able to sell that stake in the future. Finally, investing in cryptocurrencies themselves is widely regarded as a difficult process for the average investor. The standard process is to buy Bitcoin from an exchange such as Coinbase, transfer to a crypto exchange such as Binance, buy and sell other cryptos, then reverse the process to cash out. Each of these stages takes time and effort and leaves the investor open to numerous risks such as complicated validation protocols, multiple accounts and simply knowing when to buy and sell.

These large and complex challenges are what has led to the launch of Quantatex, a new to market, actively managed alternative investment account which allows investors to begin capitalising on opportunities in the blockchain space quickly, simply and efficiently, without needing to spend time developing their own understanding of this often complex area of trading.

Quantatex trades both sides of the market by employing long and short trading to exploit the significant intraday moves, thereby minimising the losses through stringent risk management and capitalising on the gains by running trades to their optimum valuation. Investments are updated daily and clients have 24 access to their funds to add or withdraw whenever they wish.

The Quantatex team comprises skilled traders and qualified analysts, who collectively have over 50 years of experience in financial markets and bring to bear techniques and strategies, developed over years in the equity, FX and commodity markets. Furthermore, all Quantatex traders are qualified to at least RDR level 4 with the CISI (Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment) are on the FCA register and all analysts hold CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) qualifications.

Opening an account with Quantatex is easy. Customers can either register for an account online at www.quantatex.com or pop into the company office in Cornwall, UK.  Mitch Blakeway, Head of Trading at Quantatex, believes that the New Year is a prime time for investors to add blockchain and cryptocurrencies to their portfolio, given the explosive nature of the market in recent months.

“Traditional investment markets have historically been slow to move when compared to the exciting asset class of cryptocurrencies. Through extensive and detailed back testing over a number of months, our team has found that the tried and tested techniques and strategies can be successfully applied to cryptocurrencies in order to produce favourable returns. Whilst investing in cryptocurrencies remains an extremely high risk investment, we employ the most stringent of risk management techniques to ensure the funds we manage stand the best chances of achieving positive growth,” explains Mitch.
