Bitwise Asset Management, the global crypto asset manager with over $15B in client assets, today announced the recent appointment of two experienced portfolio managers to its expanding Alpha and Private Solutions teams. Gordon Grant joins as Portfolio Manager, Head of Derivatives, and Jonathan Man joins as Portfolio Manager, Multi-Strategy Solutions.
“Investors have long turned to Bitwise for beta exposure, and increasingly they’re asking us to help them access alpha and implement custom solutions,” said Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley. “Today, in our Alpha and Private Solutions franchise, we support investors with a variety of strategies, including income generation through options overlays on large spot holdings, custom digital asset treasury management programs, onchain strategies, and multi-strategy solutions. We’re excited to welcome Gordon and Jonathan to the team—two industry veterans who will help us push the boundaries of what active management in crypto can achieve.”
Jonathan Man will lead Bitwise’s Multi-Strategy Solutions. Mr. Man brings extensive experience in multi-manager crypto strategies and investment products, having most recently served as Head of Investment Products at LionSoul, where he launched and managed their Bitcoin Alpha Fund of Funds and Market Neutral Fund of Funds. He also founded Valmar Capital and served as its CIO after spending over 17 years on Wall Street at CIBC, where he traded CMBS, interest rates, and credit derivatives.
Gordon Grant will lead the company’s growing volatility trading and options overlay SMA business. Mr. Grant is a widely respected figure in the crypto derivatives industry, with extensive experience advising institutional and high-net-worth investors on utilizing options and complex derivatives to enhance returns and manage risk. Gordon was previously the Head of Sales and Trading at Genesis, when they were the largest crypto derivatives franchise in the industry, after a successful, nearly decade-long stint as a Portfolio Manager and Director of Derivatives at a large macro hedge fund.
Together, these hires strengthen Bitwise’s position as a leader in the industry and deepen clients’ access to crypto opportunities, with solutions now ranging from spot ETPs, index funds, and crypto equities to alpha, derivatives, and staking solutions.
