About Us
Robuxio Capital Management was created to make systematic crypto trading accessible. Due to technical, legal and operational challenges, very few professional players are in the crypto market. We are changing that by offering robust infrastructure and expert management to handle all aspects of trading.
We started with portfolio trading over API, allowing clients to manage their own funds using our models. These models not only generate buy and sell signals for cryptocurrencies but also handle risk management and position sizing. Additionally, our system performs continuous monitoring of the live account. This comprehensive approach, known as Separately Managed Accounts (SMA), enables retail traders and institutions to trade our standardized or tailored portfolios.
However, automated trading over API still requires a certain level of technical knowledge from the client, such as on-ramping funds to the exchange, connecting API keys, selecting the appropriate risk profile, securing cryptocurrencies, decreasing exchange risk, and adapting to rapid changes in API settings or exchanges. To alleviate these burdens, we established an alternative investment fund focused exclusively on systematic trading of cryptocurrencies.
Our fund offers advanced portfolio and risk management strategies, ideal for larger investors seeking hands-off exposure to crypto. By managing all aspects of the trading process, we can implement more advanced portfolio and risk management strategies.
We pride ourselves on being one of the very few funds trading a wide portfolio of directional uncorrelated strategies. In addition to our full-service fund, we continue to offer our API service for clients who prefer to manage their own funds with our models.

Frequently Ask Questions
As a Qualified investor, these are the answers you should know.
How do you handle the physical security of held cryptocurrencies?
For automated systematic trading, the company’s trading account must hold adequate funds on the respective exchange. Cryptocurrencies on exchanges face third-party risks, mitigated by keeping less than 30% of the fund’s assets on each exchange. Access to the exchange requires multi-factor authentication, needing at least two of four company directors.
Cryptocurrencies not used for trading are stored in a cold wallet. Access requires at least two directors simultaneously (multisig).
Is the investment safe?
Investing in unconventional assets like cryptocurrencies is inherently high-risk but offers potentially high returns proportional to the risk. It is crucial to be aware of and manage these risks. Our fund focuses intensely on risk management, which is the key aspect of our approach: first risk, then profits. Key risks in cryptocurrency include third-party risk and market volatility, the latter being an advantage for systematic traders like us.
Other risks associated with cryptocurrency trading, which you don’t need to worry about, include secure storage risk, liquidity risk, and more.
Where can I track the status of my investment?
Each investor is provided with individual login credentials to the client zone dashboard. Here, we will provide a monthly investor report containing up-to-date information on the net balance, the realized profit, and any announced withdrawals or deposits.
How will you address the upcoming regulation?
Although the European Union recently approved the MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) regulation, our analysis indicates that it will not affect Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). This is mainly because MiCA does not include AIFs among the entities it covers. Additionally, AIFs are a very specific form of fund with their own legal framework and are intended primarily for a narrow group of experienced investors rather than the general public. In such a case, MiCA regulation would lose its significance, as one of its main purposes is to protect smaller retail investors, facilitate their market entry, and help them avoid fraudulent practices by exchanges, token issuers, and investment funds.
How do you manage market volatility risk?
In our algorithmic trading, we only trade cryptocurrencies with sufficient liquidity (trading volume). Regarding the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market, this very characteristic is the key to the success of our algorithmic trading strategies. We see it as a significant advantage of cryptocurrencies over other asset classes because it provides the opportunity for substantially higher returns compared to stocks or forex, where achieving attractive returns requires much larger capital or the use of leverage.
What fees are associated with my investment?
Each client pays a management fee of 0.5% on each deposit into the fund and at the start of each new quarter.
The management fee of 0.5% is calculated always from the value of the client’s account balance at the beginning of each quarter.
This fee covers the administrative costs associated with managing the fund and holding assets throughout its existence. We consider this fee to be fair and necessary, given the measures required to ensure the fund’s operation and secure management of assets.
The second component of the fund’s fee policy is a performance fee of 30% on new profits above the high-water mark.
Does the fund hold real cryptocurrencies?
Yes, we hold primarily stablecoins as collateral for trading futures on exchanges.
Is the return guaranteed?
No, neither we, ROBUXIO CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, nor any investment funds can provide guarantees. Any promise in this regard would constitute unfair and unauthorized business practice and pose a risk of sanctions.
Funds in the fund are not subject to deposit insurance or other guarantees.
Are continuous withdrawals and deposits possible?
Yes, we provide monthly liquidity. Clients must give notice at least 5 days before the end of the month. Partial withdrawals are allowed free of charge, but the remaining balance must stay above the contractual minimum investment threshold. For each deposit, a management fee of 0.5% will be deducted.
What are the risks associated with investing with Robuxio Capital Management, and how do you address them?
Exchange Failure – Counter-party risk always exists and cannot be completely eliminated. However, we mitigate this risk by not holding all the fund’s assets on a single centralized exchange, instead diversifying them across multiple exchanges.
Trading Pair Cancellation – This doesn’t significantly impact Robuxio as we trade a wide universe of pairs. Even if a pair is canceled while in a position, the pair will get settled, and our system can handle this flawlessly.
Stablecoin Failure – We use multiple stablecoins on the exchanges as collateral to minimize this risk.
Trade Settlement Failure – No problem for our system as we continuously monitor and compare our system’s database with the positions we have on each exchange.
Server Downtime – We have backend server monitoring that alerts us to any downtime. Our geo-redundancy service ensures immediate replacement of any failed server with another in a different location. In case of a critical risk, an administrator can manually operate the trading.
Trading Model Failure – To avoid this, we trade a broad portfolio of uncorrelated models and monitor them against benchmarks. For each model, we have similar-function models in a portfolio in incubation.
Loss of Key Personnel – Every position within the fund is replaceable, and we have detailed handover protocols to ensure continuity.
Algorithm Errors – Our algorithm has been extensively tested over time. We cross-validate over multiple platforms and compare with our proprietary backtesting and trading software.
We ensure that each risk is meticulously managed to protect your investment and maintain the stability and performance of our fund.
How is the investors’s profit calculated?
Investor profit is calculated using the High-Water Mark method, ensuring clients do not pay twice for already achieved profits. Performance fees are only charged when the highest historical profit level is exceeded. Profits and performance fees are calculated at the end of each calendar quarter, with the management fee deducted at the start of each new quarter.
Example:
Robuxio charges a 30% performance fee. If a client has a balance of 1,000,000 USDT and earns a 20% gross profit in the first quarter, the gross asset value (GAV) is 1,200,000 USDT. The performance fee is 60,000 USDT, making the client’s net asset value (NAV) 1,140,000 USDT, which becomes the High-Water Mark.
If the next quarter sees a 5% gross decrease, assets drop to 1,083,000 USDT. No performance fee is charged until the value exceeds 1,140,000 USDT at a following quarter end.
Note: This example does not include the 0.5% management fee deducted at the start of each quarter.
Profit Realization:
Clients have 5 days before the quarter ends to decide whether to withdraw the profit or leave it in the fund.
NAV and GAV:
- Net Asset Value (NAV): The value of a client’s investment after deducting performance and management fees.
- Gross Asset Value (GAV): The total value of a client’s investment before any fees are deducted.
With Robuxio, we only show the NAV balance, but investors trade with their GAV balance until the end of the quarter. If in profit above their last HWM, the performance fee is deducted and moved to Robuxio. They continue trading in the new quarter with their NAV balance minus the management fee, which is deducted on the first trading day of the new quarter.
Fees:
Payouts will be in USDT.
The payout amount may also be subject to personal income tax. Consult a tax advisor for details.
