ILXQuant Crypto Trend Intensity Index

Graded trend-following that allocates proportionally to each crypto ETP's trend strength -- (close - 100d MA) / MA. Unlike binary MA timing, this continuously varies allocation -- strongly trending assets capture a larger share; weakly trending assets get less; assets below their MA receive zero. XEON.DE absorbs all unallocated capital. The result is a smooth, adaptive crypto exposure that scales up in bull markets and down in corrections.

Systematic exposure to established risk premia such as value, momentum, quality and low volatility, capturing persistent drivers of returns through transparent, rules-based frameworks.

Thematic and Signal-Based

Targeted exposure to long-term trends including AI, clean energy and digital assets, structured to reflect evolving market themes within clearly defined strategy frameworks.

Sector and Industry

Focused strategies across sectors and industries, enabling precise and structured allocation to specific segments of the equity market.
