Mashreq Capital Launches BITMAC Fund: A Bridge Between Traditional and Digital Finance
Mashreq Capital, the asset management division of Mashreq Bank in the UAE, has introduced the BITMAC Fund, a multi-asset investment product that includes Bitcoin BTC alongside traditional assets. This fund aims to provide regulated access to digital assets for retail investors, marking a significant step in integrating cryptocurrencies into mainstream finance.
The BITMAC Fund allocates 5 to Bitcoin and 5 to gold, with the remainder invested in equities and fixed income. This structure is designed to mitigate the volatility often associated with direct cryptocurrency investments by combining them with more stable assets. The fund seeks to capture the long-term growth potential of the crypto market while adhering to acceptable risk parameters for general investors.
Philip Philippides, CEO of Mashreq Capital, emphasized the fund s significance:
Retail investors can find it challenging to balance their risk appetite and asset allocation choices... BITMAC is one of the first funds globally to include Bitcoin alongside traditional investments.
This product offers a professionally managed solution that allows everyday investors to access Bitcoin without the complexities of direct ownership.
The launch of the BITMAC Fund reflects the growing confidence of regional financial institutions in the UAE s regulatory framework for digital assets. By providing this investment option, Mashreq Capital is addressing the increasing demand from investors looking to diversify into cryptocurrencies while minimizing custody risks.
The BITMAC Fund is expected to attract a wide range of retail investors seeking to enhance their portfolio returns through exposure to high-growth areas, all within the oversight of a leading asset manager in the region.
