Enzyme Finance is an Ethereum-based protocol for decentralized on-chain asset management. Enzyme empowers anyone to set up, manage and invest in customized on-chain investment vehicles. Techemy Capital has launched the non-custodial Holistic ETH-BTC Portfolio on Enzyme. This actively traded portfolio provides exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum price action using Long/Short trading strategies designed and executed by Josh Olszewicz.

Why you should listen:
Traditionally, starting and managing investment funds has been complicated, and costly. Enzyme Finance has disrupted the old model by making it possible for anyone to set up their own on-chain fund that others can invest in. With a 5 minute set-up time and streamlined processes, Enzyme allows anyone to create or invest in an investment fund without asking for permission. This is a game-changer because historically there have been massive barriers to entry in the fund industry, both for fund managers and investors.
Each fund on Enzyme is transparent and on-chain and its past performance and trading history, asset allocation, and the ruleset which describes its operations are all public and available for anyone to inspect.
Josh Olszewicz is a trader at Techemy Capital. He says that Enzyme Finance is a game-changer. “Everyone is interested in trading now. They want exposure to markets. What I like about Enzyme is that everything is open and transparent. It's effectively like on-chain copy trading.”
The next Techemy Capital product to be released on Enzyme is an actively managed DeFi portfolio.
Key takeaway:
Mona says “You can think of Enzyme Finance as a technology protocol that enables fund managers to customize the set-up of their own unique fund. Managers can pre-define all sorts of rules from fees, to the number of positions, types of assets, risk management, and so on. They can build and scale investment strategies from discretionary and robo to ETFs and market-making. The protocol takes care of investments and redemptions, NAV calculations, and enforces the rules that managers have in their funds. Everything is automated using smart contracts. Users can write as many rules as they want, so they can create uniquely individual funds.”
