Overview

160.png Altura operates a multi-strategy trading framework designed to generate consistent, risk-
adjusted returns across varying market conditions.

The platform deploys capital exclusively into professional, non-directional and asset-backed strategies, prioritising:
  • Capital preservation
  • Liquidity discipline
  • Institutional-grade execution
  • Risk-controlled deployment
Altura strategies are not designed for speculative directional exposure. Returns are generated through:
  • Market inefficiencies
  • Liquidity provision
  • Funding and basis differentials
  • Real-world asset trading activity

Strategy Pillars

Altura deploys capital across three complementary strategy pillars:
  1. Delta-Neutral Crypto Market Making
  2. Funding Rate & Basis Arbitrage
  3. Real-World Asset (RWA) Gold Trading
Capital allocation between strategies is dynamically adjusted based on market conditions,
liquidity, and risk-adjusted return expectations.

Strategy Pillar 1 - Delta-Neutral Crypto Market Making

Objective

The market-making strategy is designed to:
  • Generate spread-based returns
  • Maintain low or neutral directional exposure
  • Control inventory and volatility risk
  • Provide liquidity across selected venues
Optimisation Objective: (Spread Revenue + Market Share) − (Inventory Risk + Hedging Cost + Execution Risk) 11(1)

Strategy Architecture

The strategy operates through: Quoting Engine
  • Continuous bid/ask liquidity provision
  • Adaptive spread management
  • Optimal quote sizing
Hedging Engine
  • Real-time inventory neutralisation
  • Dynamic execution logic
  • Slippage and risk control
Opportunistic Adjustments
  • Regime-aware positioning
  • Volatility-responsive execution

Risk Management

  • Inventory exposure limits
  • Volatility-based hedging
  • Automated kill-switches
  • Exchange and venue diversification

Strategy Pillar 2 - Funding Rate & Basis Arbitrage Strategy

Objective

This strategy captures predictable yield from structural inefficiencies between:
  • Spot markets
  • Perpetual futures
  • Dated futures
The strategy remains market-neutral and does not rely on directional exposure. 12(1)

Execution Structure

Typical positioning includes:
  • Long spot / short perpetual
  • Long perpetual / short futures
  • Cross-venue arbitrage
Returns are driven by funding rates and basis convergence rather than price movement.

Risk Controls

Funding persistence monitoring
  • Margin and liquidation buffers
  • Position size controls
  • Continuous rebalancing

Strategy Pillar 3 - REAL-WORLD ASSET (RWA) GOLD STRATEGY

Post

Asset Manager

All RWA trading activity is executed by: Inessa Holdings LLC FZ (Acting as Asset Manager) Inessa is responsible for:
  • Physical gold trading
  • Trade structuring and execution
  • Settlement and logistics coordination
  • Capital and risk management; Altura does not directly trade or custody physical gold.

Capital Deployment

Capital allocated to the RWA strategy:
  • Is used solely for physical gold trading
  • Is not leveraged or rehypothecated
  • Is deployed in short settlement cycles
  • Is allocated in tranches
  • Remains fully recallable
Allocation remains flexible over time, with no minimum capital commitment

Trading Methodology

The strategy focuses on:
  • Physical gold arbitrage
  • Buy–sell pricing inefficiencies
  • Delivery-versus-payment settlement
  • Short-duration trade cycles
All returns are generated from real-world asset activity.

Capital Recall (RWA Only)

For capital deployed into the RWA strategy:
  • Partial or full recall may be requested with 7 days’ notice
  • New trade deployment ceases upon notice
  • Open trades are settled
  • Capital and accrued returns are returned within 7 days
There are:
  • No lock-ups
  • No exit penalties
  • No restrictions beyond settlement completion
Failure to return capital within the stated period constitutes a contractual default. Altura Infographic

  • Follow delivery-versus-payment (DvP) standards
  • Remain segregated from Altura operating funds
