VANDIUM — About Us
VANDIUM is a multi-strategy systematic quant fund, built by traders from the world's top quant firms. We run trading programmes — starting with crypto perpetual futures — with the infrastructure, on-chain transparency, and governance discipline that crypto has largely gone without. No predictions, no narratives — just the track record. Our mission is to open institutional-quality quant strategies to anyone on-chain.
What We Stand For
Every programme is built with drawdown limits, circuit breakers, and per-position stops wired into the execution path — not bolted on after. Whichever style a strategy trades, the risk envelope is hard-coded before it ever takes a live fill.
Every constant that drives a trade lives in a single config file with a source-line reference. We publish our risk tiers, cost model, universe filters, and execution parameters to prospective investors under NDA. If we ever change a knob, it goes through a pod review before it ships.
Our live positions, fills, and NAV are all visible on-chain. You don't have to trust our monthly letter — you can verify the book directly from the blockchain. We treat this as a core product feature, not a compliance requirement.
We audit our own system through independent fresh-eval pods that treat the strategy as broken until proven otherwise. Findings feed a public remediation log. This is how we catch errors before the market does.
Fund 1
Numbers below are for VANDIUM Market Neutral Fund 1 on 6.5 years of history (2019-09 → 2026-04), using a live-calibrated 13.72 bps round-trip transaction cost, T+1 execution — we act on today's signal at tomorrow's close, no look-ahead, and the same code that runs in production. Live on Hyperliquid since 2026-03-27.
Market-neutral cross-sectional strategy — ranks every coin in the universe against each other each day, not in absolute terms on a curated universe of liquid crypto perpetual futures. Daily rebalance, dual-clone construction — two independent sub-portfolios trading on staggered days, to smooth turnover, T+1 execution. Live since 2026-03-27 on Hyperliquid.
CAGR, Sharpe, out-of-sample Sharpe, and max drawdown figures are derived from backtests on historical data. Fund 1 went live on Hyperliquid on 2026-03-27. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Deposits are subject to smart-contract, platform, and strategy risk.
Under the Hood
Deflated Sharpe Ratio (haircut for ~73 independent trial variants) passes at >0.999 probability. IS-to-OOS rank stability at Spearman 0.71 across sweep configs. Look-ahead probe and randomised-signal negative controls both behave as expected.
Market-neutral construction keeps net beta ≈ 0. Historical max drawdown −13% over 6.5 years, with <2.2% probability of a 30-day drawdown beyond −10%. A 4-tier portfolio circuit breaker and per-position stops at −20% notional are wired into the live execution path.
Atomic post-trade writes, exchange reconciliation every cycle, automatic partial-fill retry, real-time execution-quality monitoring, pre-trade gates, and an independent sentinel cron. Hundreds of regression tests. No single-point-of-failure in production.
How We're Different
| Dimension | Typical crypto fund | VANDIUM Market Neutral Fund 1 | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Construction | Directional / long-only | Market-neutral | Uncorrelated to BTC beta |
| Universe | BTC / ETH / ~10 majors | Curated universe of liquid perps | Wider cross-section → more alpha |
| Signal horizon | Single timeframe | Multi-horizon blended | Works across volatility regimes |
| Execution | Market orders, single-tier | Tiered passive-maker waterfall | ~27% under modelled cost |
| Risk controls | Portfolio stop | 4-tier CB + per-position stop | Defence-in-depth |
| Transparency | Quarterly letter | On-chain, real-time | Verify, don't trust |
| Governance | Internal discretion | Immutable-rule pod review | No silent parameter drift |
