BIT Defensive Growth
Technology growth with systematic risk management
Marcel Oldenkott
Managing Director & Co-CIO
“We preserve the equity portfolio’s upside potential comparable to a long-only equity fund, while using derivatives to hedge against extreme downside risks.”
Investment Strategy
[ Risk Control ]
BIT Defensive Growth unlocks the growth dynamics of the technology sector with an explicitly risk-oriented approach. The fund's equity portfolio is built on that of BIT Global Technology Leaders, but supplements it with selected names from the in-house research long list that exhibit particularly positive correlation characteristics relative to the portfolio of BIT Capital's flagship fund. The goal is to outperform the Nasdaq 100 Index while at the same time achieving superior risk-return metrics.
BIT Defensive Growth
The fund is aimed at investors who wish to participate in the structural growth dynamics of the technology sector, but who prioritize a clearly defined risk profile and actively managed drawdown protection.
Proven growth strategy, structurally protected
BIT Defensive Growth is conceptually built on BIT Global Technology Leaders. While BIT Global Technology Leaders seeks full upside potential through heavily weighted high-conviction positions, BIT Defensive Growth translates the same investment theses into a broader, structurally protected portfolio architecture.
Risk-sensitive equity portfolio
The fund typically holds 40 to 60 equity positions, combining names with high alpha potential and stabilizing equities with risk-reducing portfolio characteristics. The broader diversification limits single-position concentration risks and smooths portfolio volatility. The objective: outperform the Nasdaq 100 while delivering superior risk-return metrics.
Systematic hedge overlay
A key element of risk control is a derivative-based hedge overlay. Combined with algorithmically supported portfolio construction, the fund management aims to achieve a risk profile that, in terms of volatility and maximum drawdown, is comparable to broadly diversified technology ETFs or other defensively oriented technology funds.
