GLDB provides a consolidated investment strategy that integrates both established and emerging asset classes, judiciously allocating capital between gold and Bitcoin (BTC). This deliberate combination aims to harness the dynamic growth prospects inherent in digital currencies while capitalizing on the reliable stability typically associated with precious metals. The fund operates under a sophisticated quantitative allocation framework, commencing with an equal 50/50 weekly split. This weighting is subsequently adjusted in real-time, factoring in market volatility, momentum trends, and internal risk metrics. When market conditions dictate, the portfolio's concentration has the flexibility to entirely pivot, committing up to 100% to either Bitcoin or gold. Central to its approach, GLDB employs a 1.25x leveraged exposure. This is accomplished through various derivative instruments, such as futures, options, and swaps, in addition to Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) that track Bitcoin, gold, and related assets. Furthermore, the fund's holdings may extend to other assets, including Ether (ETH) and silver. To circumvent the issuance of K-1 tax forms, up to 25% of the fund's overall exposure is secured through a Cayman Islands Subsidiary. The remaining assets are robustly held in US Treasuries, cash equivalents, and other highly liquid, short-term instruments, primarily functioning as collateral.
