Wave Select 5 Index is designed to represent the overall crypto currency market providing pure beta exposure. Portfolio of the top 5 cryptocurrencies is screened by our team of experts and weighted by market capitalization, with monthly rebalancing and no caps.
The Portfolio Manager also has discretion to overweight or underweight the exposure to certain crypto currencies regardless of the benchmark index. This may result in over or under performance of the product relative to the benchmark index.
Criteria For Including Index Constituents
The Wave Digital Assets Select 5 Crypto Index Fund provides exposure to one of the best performing asset classes of the last 5 years.
Market Capitalization Weighted
Cryptocurrencies are ranked by market capitalization on the last business day of every month. The top 5 cryptocurrencies are then weighted by market capitalization with no cap or floor and then included with their respective weights in the index.
Certain Coins Categorically Excluded
Stable coins, such as Tether, are excluded as they are not designed to increase in value over time. Privacy coins, such as Monero, are excluded due to their regulatory uncertainty.
Security
The committee reserves the right to remove a crypto asset from the index regardless of market cap due to high default risk. This includes: SEC reviews, drastic fall in hash power, little to no Github activity, critical bug discovered in the network. Other events that signal failure such as a 51% attack or well documented security flaw with the asset can lead to removal as well.

Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment. The Wave Select 5 Index represents a hypothetical, back-tested, and unaudited return-stream that does not represent the returns of an actual account. Index performance does not include the fees and expenses. Actual returns may differ materially from hypothetical, back-tested returns. Back-testing is calculated by retroactively applying an index-weighted methodology to the historical data. Cryptocurrency selection for the index fund will be based on reasonably available data and is also subject to necessary judgement calls by management given data supply problems that currently exist in the cryptocurrency sector.
Portfolio Manager Discretion
The Portfolio Manager also has discretion to overweight or underweight the exposure to certain crypto currencies regardless of the benchmark index. This may result in over or under performance of the product relative to the benchmark index. Also, for this particular product, because the Portfolio Managers are also serving as the Index Calculation Agent, there may be a conflict of interest when changes are applied to the index calculation methodology.
