WORLD'S FIRST HEDGE FUND WHICH ALLOWS ANYONE TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL ASPECTS OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES
INCLUDING DIGITAL ASSETS, IN-HOUSE BLOCKCHAIN BASED COMPANIES, AND CRYPTOCURRENCY MINING.
VISION
To be the first truly decentralized hedge fund that allows everyone, from all walks of life, to participate in the success of cryptocurrencies, no matter how tech savvy you may be.
INVESTMENT FOCUS
BAF is the first hedge fund that invests into cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.), digital assets (such as IOTA, Stratis, Ark, etc.), in-house blockchain based projects (such as a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange), and highly optimized cryptocurrency mining.
CONTINUALLY RAISE VALUE OF BAF TOKEN
BAF is also the first hedge fund that aggressively invests into continually growing the value of the token. While most other blockchain-based projects are marketed in a big way only to the point of ICO, BAF will be continually promoted to target audiences through smart partnerships in the online and offline world.
WHAT CAN YOU GET BY PARTICIPATING WITH BAF?
Anyone can participate with BAF ensuring full privacy using cryptocurrencies or even cash. Thanks to our active efforts including large marketing spends to always increase BAF token value while at the same time providing dividends to you, we expect a linear growth in the value of BAF token over time!
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Iota, and more than 1000 other such digital currencies and assets are bundled under the umbrella of cryptocurrencies and by August 2017 command a total market cap of more than USD 140 Billion.

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies which use encryption (cryptography) to generate money and to verify transactions. Transactions are added to a public ledger – also called a Transaction Blockchain – and new coins are
created through a process known as mining.

THE PROBLEM
FUND MANAGEMENT
Ø So called “expert” fund managers can invest the funds into other projects for personal gain without care for the fund's growth.Ø Difficult to be expert in an industry which is only a few years old and extremely unpredictable.Ø By keeping the investment centralized by a few fund managers, investors are likely to take a "wait and watch” approach instead of
actively participating in the fund’s investment decisions which further limits the avenues in which the fund can invest into.
FUND DIVERSIFICATION
Ø Due to limited time and information overload, it is difficult for investors to smartly diversify their crypto-holdings and hedge their risk.Ø Even after spending hours daily to follow the crypto-market and choosing the right instruments, participation in the most lucrative
projects is not guaranteed for an individual investor due to high minimum investment requirements.
MISINFORMED ICO INVESTMENTS
Ø Tons of ICOs are launching all the time and many fail to deliver returns to investors when compared to even just holding the investment in ETH or BTC.
Ø Even in the cases where the ICO project is solid, it could make sense to skip the ICO entirely and directly purchase the tokens once it is listed on an exchange.
SAFETY OF FUNDS
Ø Holding funds with exchanges that can vanish overnight is a big problem. Some examples of exchanges getting hacked or vanishing overnight include the likes of Bithumb, Mt.Gox, and recently Btc-e.
Ø Even when funds are kept outside of exchanges, there is a big risk of smart contract exploits or stealing of access keys to wallets or even those of cold storages.
BAF SOLUTION
FUND MANAGEMENT
BAF is the first hedge fund of its kind which allows for a truly decentralized voting on new investments by BAF token holders and gives their choice 50% of the overall weight towards the investment decision. The other 50% is allocated to the choice made by our fund managers. Further, we enlarge the investment funnel by tapping into the combined knowledge of the BAF token holder community to find, analyze, and invest into promising new projects.
FUND DIVERSIFICATION
By design, and with the scale of funds available, BAF invests into a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, digital assets, blockchain start-ups, and optimized mining operations which allows BAF token holders to automagically diversify their holdings across all aspects of the cryptoworld.
MISINFORMED ICO INVESTMENTS
Before even voting can commence for a potential investment into a new ICO, our team will share all pros and cons of the token including its expected true market value and this info will be shared only with our closed group of BAF token holders. This will set the basis for a healthy discussion to take place within our closed community to allow BAF token holders to make an informed choice during the voting phase.
SAFETY OF FUNDS
BAF will never hold its funds on any exchange and will instead hold all crypto-assets into an escrow smart contract holding the private key of our cold storage wallets. Escrow smart contract will use oracle to access non-ethereum tokens like Bitcoin, Litecoin etc.
HOW IT WORKS
BAF token is an ERC-20 compatible token fully secured through smart contracts and can be purchased and sold on the free market. Apart from the ability to freely trade BAF, their ownership acts as a "Proof-of-Membership" to allow its owners to claim dividends from the profits accrued by the
fund.

HOW BAF TOKEN RISES IN VALUE

than 10 times in the next few years.

ü Ads on offline mass-media channels such as newspapers and TV.
ONLINE AVENUES: COIN VALUE
ü Promotion through prominent cryptocurrency groups on social media channels.

BAF DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
BAF is a unique hedge fund which pays dividends apart from digital holding profits to its token holders. A smart contract allows token owners to collect 60-75% of quarterly profits. To grow the capital pool without the need for attracting additional investments, 25% of profits are re-
invested back into the fund. It allows Net Asset Value (NAV) of the token to increase over time which automatically raises the value of BAF token.

SAFETY OF FUNDS
PROOF OF RESERVE
BAF is the most transparent cryptofund where anyone can independently verify the entire holdings of BAF via blockchain as proof of reserve.
TRUE DE-CENTRALIZATION
BAF is designed from the ground up to be a fully de-centralized entity (similar to Bitcoin) and this prevents the organization or funds to be seized by any third party.
CROWDSOURCED CODE-CHECK
Every piece of code governing how BAF functions is available publicly and we keep a portion of the funds aside to provide bounties to the community to continually help maintain code integrity of the highest standards.
COLD STORAGE
Whenever not in use for investment, funds are stored in cold wallets based on the Ledger Nano S platform. Also, no single wallet will ever hold more than 5% of the fund's net asset value or USD 1 Million (whichever lower) at all times.
FUNDRAISER DETAILS
BAF Fundraiser will happen in Q1 2018. Pre-fundraiser phase (with bonus payouts) has already begun and as of October 2017, close to USD 2 Million
have already been raised. All unsold BAF tokens will be burned with the completion of the fundraiser and no additional tokens will ever be issued again.
Further, and in order to reassure our early participants, we have set a point of no return – 5 Million BAF Tokens. If by the end of the fundraiser we did not
manage to sell this threshold amount of BAF tokens, all participants will be fully refunded.

50% of the funds collected will be invested into cryptocurrencies, digital assets, in-house blockchain based projects, and highly optimizedcryptocurrency mining. The other 50% are invested into aggressively growing the token value which is an industry-first and with which we
expect to grow BAF’s value linearly with time.
