Strategy

Three strategies with distinct roles and shared risk controls.

ASTHATE is not a single directional trade. It allocates across income-generating, tactical, and longer-term strategies — each with its own mandate, allocation band, and risk lens.

Yield Engine

Income from stablecoin yield and short-duration carry.

Focuses on dependable income where exit clarity and capital stability matter more than chasing the highest posted rate. Duration and counterparty exposure are monitored closely.

  • Allocation band: 35% to 50%
  • Primary measure: stable realized income
  • Risk focus: duration, liquidity, venue quality
Automated Trading Engine

Signal-driven execution in liquid crypto markets.

Executes systematic trades based on predefined signals. Exposure is adjusted by rule rather than discretionary judgment, and each strategy is monitored against its own drawdown limit.

  • Allocation band: 20% to 35%
  • Primary measure: risk-adjusted return capture
  • Risk focus: realized drawdown and slippage
Strategic Investment Engine

Longer-term positions with written exit logic.

Reserved for opportunities where the return potential justifies a slower capital rotation. No position is entered without a documented thesis and defined exit conditions.

  • Allocation band: 15% to 30%
  • Primary measure: thesis realization quality
  • Risk focus: concentration and thesis drift
How Capital Is Divided

Allocation is governed at the portfolio level.

Allocation Rules

Strategy integrity comes before tactical opportunity.

  • No strategy sleeve exceeds its approved band without a formal review.
  • Short-term trading gains do not justify expanding strategic positions.
  • Yield exposure is reduced when liquidity or exit conditions deteriorate.
How Each Position Is Handled

Every position follows a structured path.

01 / Qualify
Entry conditions checked first

Capital is not deployed until strategy fit, liquidity, and scenario context are verified.

02 / Define
Sizing and exit logic written before execution

Position scale, expected holding period, and exit conditions are documented before the trade is placed.

03 / Execute
Orders placed within venue controls

Execution quality is evaluated against liquidity and operational risk, not only price.

04 / Review
Post-trade behavior feeds back into allocation

How a position performs informs future sizing decisions — not informal style adjustments.

Risk Controls

The same risk layer applies across all three strategies.

Position Limits

Hard size caps per strategy and position

Individual trades and allocations are capped relative to engine and portfolio-level exposure limits. No exceptions without review.

Drawdown Response

Exposure reduced through predefined steps

When losses hit defined thresholds, exposure is reduced through a written process — not informal judgment under pressure.

Exception Logging

Departures from normal posture are documented

Any change outside normal operating parameters requires a written rationale and a review before it is acted on.
