"We are completing a thorough due diligence process and expect to conclude our first deals in short order.

"The equity positions we will take in blockchain technologies will be ones we have evaluated to benefit most from our expertise and capital, and those having tremendous upside.

"For further clarity, investing directly in ICOs does not fit our mandate, but the blockchain technology as it relates to cryptocurrencies overall is a strong fit.”

The firm's leadership sponsored and participated in the successful Monaco Growth Forum Blockchain Summit in London and Monaco on October 17 and 19.
