3iQ SMA Platform, Competitor to Coinbase SMA, Launched early May and Hilbert receiving a day 1 Investment
As was press released in the beginning of May, 3iQ SMA (separately managed account) has now launched. The asset allocation platform was delayed by a year and Hilbert received the first inflow at the beginning of May this year. 3iQ vetted over a 100 hedge funds and Hilbert was selected out of a handful for day 1 investment at the launch. 3iQ is a $1 billion Canada based institutional investor with which we have a close partnership and their SMA platform has the potential to become one of the largest in the world. The platform caters to institutions, family offices and high net worth individuals globally that want exposure to digital assets.

We expect Coinbase SMA to be a large funnel of capital into our

The Asset Management Business is all about being Investable
The Hilbert brand is strong. Many institutions consider Hilbert to be 1 out of around 15 investable asset managers globally. Investable means we have the right people, the right experience, the right internal processes and risk management, the right operational setup and the right corporate governance. Unless you tick all the boxes, you will not attract institutional capital and the fact that we now have 13 institutions with a good geographical spread among our investor base, is a testament to our sound and competitive foundations.
