Established Fund Joins Crypto (SWOT Analysis)

CountingHouse is an established fund involved with Forex trading. The company is going to extend its existing, successful infrastructure to crypto trading.

Read on to learn about the strengths of CountingHouse.

CountingHouse SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis sheds light on the potential of a project.

Strength.png

CountingHouse intends to profit from taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities and algorithmic trading. In respect to arbitrage opportunities, there's a finite number of trades that can be made before the arbitrage is gone and equilibrium is reached. Since established institutional investors have not adopted crypto market trading yet, CountingHouse will be largely competing against individual traders.

CountingHouse has the ability to leverage an extremely experienced team whose capabilities are further enhanced by proven trading algorithms.

As individual traders do not have the scale of resources or manpower that CountingHouse does, the fund can out-pace and out-think the traders, and consequently it will be able to out-perform them. CountingHouse's key strength is that it will virtually be a whale in a fish pond.

CountingHouse is a hedge fund where almost anyone can hold a stake. But even then it will function as an institutional fund.

A large portion of the crypto community is quite against institutions. Public opinion will have no impact on the fund's performance and as greed is king in this market, the fund won't have a difficulty bringing in toke buyers.

Nonetheless, it will have to exercise a good bit of PR as otherwise it might build up a negative reputation and that eats up on goodwill valuation, and goodwill makes up a heavy percent of the valuations of even the biggest companies. The key would be to stress, repeatedly, that virtually everyone can be a part of the fund--it should be perhaps marketed as "the people's hedge fund."


Opportunity.png

The crypto market is extremely volatile and that makes it an unfavorable terrain for many traders. But CountingHouse has asserted that its algorithms and strategies are particularly successful in volatile markets. If CountingHouse thrives in volatility, crypto market is about to deliver them returns that even successful VIX traders cannot dream of.

Also, the fund is joining the market at a great timing. It has a first mover advantage in terms of an established Forex fund extending its capabilities to the new form of currency: cryptocurrencies. And since recently cyptomarkets have grown so much with so many different coins and tokens arising, CountingHouse will have plenty of arbitrage opportunities to take advantage of.


Threat.png

One of CountingHouse's key strength relies on the fact that its the big fish in the pond of small traders. Also, its founders have stressed so much on how they will take advantage of arbitrage.

These factors are transient. More institutional investors are likely to join the market and that means CountingHouse could end up losing its only-whale status and increased algorithmic trading will force arbitrage opportunities to a hair-thin probability.

But I feel CountingHouse will have plenty of eyes on it. Yes, more funds will join the market, but I feel the big guys will be keeping their eye on how CountingHouse performs. They are likely to join if CountingHouse succeeds. But if CountingHouse does succeed, it'd have access to a lot more resources by the time fresh, strong competition arises.

Also, there are thousands of funds across the world. This market is growing exponentially and there's certainly enough room here for many funds.

Wrap-Up: CountingHouse has some valuable strengths derived from its experienced team and technology. These two strengths make a powerful combo that'd allow any company that possesses them to easily take on any challenge that comes its way.

Yes, it's rare to see an established company launch an ICO. This ICO is particularly interesting since an established financial entity is allowing anyone to be a stakeholder since minimum investment is around 65 cents at current ETH prices.

While blockchain has tackled (and will revolutionize) many industries far, wide and centre, CountingHouse seems like it will be the future of individual financial management evolution. It is undoubtedly a tricky process for one to get their head around, but your easily digestible SWOT analysis, makes that a non issue. Great work :)

Financial Management is something exclusively available to a few. CountingHouse will be making this service available to the greater portion of the world. So, you're right; this could be a revolutionary development in the asset management sector.
