The Global Trailblazer Continues Its
Commitment to Advance the Standards of Digital Asset
Management
TORONTO, Jan. 31,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 3iQ Digital Asset Management
(3iQ), a global trusted leader in digital asset investments, has
launched an Outsourced Crypto Investment Office
(OCIOTM). This innovative solution is designed to help
institutional investors navigate the rapidly growing digital asset
economy.
In traditional finance, an Outsourced Chief Investment Officer,
or OCIO, assumes full or partial investment management duties for
third-party firms like asset managers, wealth managers, RIAs,
family offices, or institutional investors. Firms typically
delegate to an OCIO if they lack the internal resources or
infrastructure to effectively make investment decisions or are in
search of better risk management and fiduciary oversight.
As the digital asset investment ecosystem evolves, institutional
investors are faced with new challenges and complexities. 3iQ's
OCIOTM is specifically designed to help
institutional investors navigate this emerging asset class. By
collaborating with clients, 3iQ has developed a tailored solution
that addresses their needs from both a strategic, service, and
investment perspective.
With OCIOTM, investors gain access to a comprehensive
suite of services that include:
- Education and Strategic Planning including
customized executive education programs; dedicated support and
advisory services; market research and intelligence; and
- Investment Advisory including investment policy and
strategic asset allocation design; evaluation and selection of
third-party investment managers; service provider due diligence;
and
- Managed Account Platform (QMAP) including access to
a carefully selected menu of proprietary and independent managers
and passive/active investment strategies; bespoke portfolio
construction; and ongoing monitoring and risk management
oversight.

As an investment fiduciary, 3iQ prioritizes their clients' best
interests. The global leader has an established history of
delivering industry firsts in digital asset investing with
regulatory oversight which include launching North America's first exchange-listed
Bitcoin and Ether Funds, and the Middle East's first exchange-listed
Bitcoin Fund on Nasdaq Dubai. The digital asset
manager has crypto funds listed on the Toronto Stock
Exchange, as well as a separately managed account (SMA) and model
portfolio solutions in the United
States.
3iQ built a foundation that started in Canada, and it continues to innovate and
prudently bridge digital assets to traditional finance across the
globe.

Pascal St-Jean, President of
3iQ, said: "We believe the breadth and capabilities of our OCIO
is unmatched and unlike any the digital asset industry or
traditional finance has seen. This solution addresses a significant
void in advancing digital assets which we feel expands and
strengthens the bridge to institutions, traditional finance, and
beyond."
Louis LaValle, Managing
Director, 3iQ, said: "Our OCIO is a natural extension of our
team's deep expertise and experience across both digital assets and
traditional finance. Traditional OCIO services are among the
fastest growing segments in asset management, and a critical need
exists for this investment function in digital assets. As an
investment fiduciary—and with our deep organizational resources and
infrastructure—we believe we're well-positioned to make a positive
impact that is sorely sought."
