The Macro Opportunities fund typically invests in fixed income securities so this is a departure from the fund’s traditional investment strategy.
The investment team has likely determined that Bitcoin poses a major macro opportunity and has decided to add it to the fund to enhance returns and/or mitigate risks.
“The Guggenheim Macro Opportunities Fund may seek investment exposure to bitcoin indirectly through investing up to 10% of its net asset value in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (“GBTC”),” the SEC filing reads.
The current Assets Under Management for the Macro Opportunities fund is $5.3 billion.
The fund has not yet allocated any funds into Bitcoin, as they are currently awaiting approval from the SEC.
