Earlier this month, IDEG announced the appointment of Markus Thielen as Head of Portfolio Management and Deputy CIO, as the firm continues to grow its investment team to support the growing number of funds it is launching on its platform. In April it has already added Ethereum, Luna, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) funds to its TIMES thematic product shelf. 

The TIMES suite of products offers qualifying investors compliant, secure, and professionally managed exposure to digital assets through a mix of thematic strategies with varying risk profiles that spans Tracking, Interest, Mining, Yield Earning, and Structured product strategies.
