PRESENTATION
A storm has hit the investment market which we are not going to recover from. Crypto investment is that storm. With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.
While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, Apis Capital Management, an innovative asset manager specializing in unique strategies designed to build your wealth during all market conditions has arrived with Apis token, the world's first digital token providing exposure to a volatility-focused hedge fund with a proven track record of performance.
Now that I have your attention, let’s get right to it.

Apis Token Mission

Through careful market analysis and our trading experience, we are able to profit in rising, flat, and declining markets, generating consistent profits for our clients. Our flagship investment vehicle, the ACM Market Neutral Volatility Strategy Fund, has achieved industry leading returns since inception.
The Goal
Their goal is to use technology that keeps the Tokens secure, liquid and transparent. The Issuer will use Stellar, a blockchain that provides the best combination of a thoroughly tested platform, speed, efficiency, low transaction fees and liquidity. Powering Stellar is the third evolution of blockchain technology, which keeps the $400 billion USD crypto ecosystem secure. Stellar Network is the fastest blockchain network currently available, allowing over 1000 TPS per second. APIS token will benefit from Blockchain 3.0 technology, making it very effective. Tokens are re-sellable to non U.S.
Every time a Token is exchanged, the transaction is recorded on the Stellar blockchain. This allows the Issuer to track the location of all Tokens without major administrative overhead costs. In addition to recording transactions, the contents of the smart contract are public, which provides Token holders transparency around how many tokens are in circulation and how many addresses are in possession of these tokens. The smart contract will also, have pausing and safe upgrade mechanisms in place to protect Token holders.
The algorithmic trading systems by APIS token are high quality and have shown success in the past. They are made by APIS Capital Management, a team that has over 20 years experience in options, futures, and securities trading.
No Minimum Investment Fees: Unlike traditional hedge fund trading that requires users to pay fees before investing, APIS token does their trading strategy a little different. This platform has no ongoing or minimum fees, which leads to higher returns.
US Investing Tax Deferment: While traditional hedge funds have their investors pay taxes every year, APIS Token holders only pay taxes when they sell the token. For the average US investors (provided they're not paying management fees), this can lead up to 700% returns within 10 years.
The Technology & Security

As said earlier, the primary goal is to use technology that keeps the investor’s assets secure, liquid and transparent. Apis Token will use Stellar, a blockchain that provides the best combination of a thoroughly tested platform, speed, efficiency, low transaction fees and liquidity. Powering Stellar is the third evolution of blockchain technology, which keeps the $400 billion USD crypto asset ecosystem secure and we are taking every precaution to ensure that it safely and predictably manages Apis Tokens. This “Blockchain 3.0” is far superior to the previous two iterations. To understand the advantages of Stellar, is helpful to review the technological history of the technology.
Advantages of Apis Token
Re-sellable: No lock up period. Tokens are immediately re-sellable to non-U.S. persons, as defined herein, following their initial issuance under Regulation.
Unique Strategy: The Token provides exposure to profits generated by the Issuer’s investment in the Fund. The Fund’s investment strategy combines selling of “Volatility Risk Premium” (VRP) in VIX Futures or “Equity Risk Premium” (ERP) in S&P 500 Index Options strategies to effectively perform in market conditions including bull and bear markets, with very little correlation of returns to the cryptocurrency market or the S&P 500.
Proven Track Record: The Fund has generated gross annualized and audited returns of 70% over its existing 28-month track record. Simulated/backtested returnsfrom 2009-2015 provide similar results.
No Minimum Investment: Unlike typical investments in hedge fund which require large capital contributions, a Token may be purchased with as little as [$---] in capital.
No Fees: Proceeds from the token sale will be invested directly in the Fund by the Issuer and the Issuer will become a limited partner of the Fund.
The General Partner of the Fund has executed and guaranteed a waiver of management and incentive fees to the Issuer.
Distribution of Profits
Each month, as soon as practical after the close of the month the Issuer will publish, securely yet publicly visible, the performance of the Fund, as calculated by the Fund’s administrator, Tower Fund Services.
The profits will be distributed to the Investment Balance of Apis Token Ltd, to which the Apis Tokens are entitled, thus increasing the value of each Apis Token. For example, if there are 10,000,000 Apis Tokens in existence and the Investment Balance is $20,000,000, each Apis Token is worth $2.00 at redemption.
If, however, there are $3,000,000 in profits distributed to the Investment Balance, bringing it to $23,000,000, the redemption value of each Apis Token increases to $2.30
ISSUER AND FUND ROADMAP
PHASE 1: Tokenholders send BTC, ETH, XLM or Fiat to the Fund's wallet. Each transaction is publicly recorded on its respective blockchain. Once the funds are received, they are directly invested in the ACM Market Neutral Volatility Strategy.
PHASE 2: Apis Tokens will be distributed to the wallet addresses of the Tokenholders from phase 1. The location of all tokens can be monitored on the Stellar blockchain.
PHASE 3: Tokens can be freely traded between Tokenholders on the Stellar blockchain, including the native StellarPort Decentralized Exchange, as well as other exchanges such as White Company Capital and similar major exchanges.
PHASE 4: On a monthly basis, the net profits from the Strategy will be allocated to the Investment Balance of the Apis Token, thus increasing the redemption value of each Apis Token.
The Apis Token will also publish the performance of the Fund in a secure and publicly visible manner. There will be no subtraction of management or incentive fees. Proceeds from the token sale will be invested directly in the Fund by the Issuer and the Issuer will become a limited partner of the Fund. The General Partner of the Fund has executed and guaranteed a waiver of management and incentive fees to the Issuer.
