We are thrilled to reflect on a phenomenal racing event in partnership with AIM Events near Zürich, filled with three days of adrenaline and memories for a lifetime.
The event began with an elegant dinner at the beautiful Zunfthaus Zur Meisen, where guests indulged in exquisite culinary delights and had an opportunity to connect with one another.
The second day was packed with an exciting but intense time in the racing simulator at the Speedcenter in Schopfheim. Under the guidance of the team manager, the guests familiarised themselves with the track, followed by a seat fitting in the Formula Renault car. The day culminated with a delightful dinner at Napa Grill.
The highlight of our event, however, unfolded on the third day at the Anneau du Rhin race track, where our guests gained their first experience driving a Formula Renault car, with great lap times achieved! We were particularly proud to have a woman driving behind the wheel for the first time at one of our racing events, and it is exciting to see more women getting involved. We concluded the day with an unforgettable dinner at The Dolder Grand, where our guests also stayed.
In June, we hosted our Bitcoin Volatility Premium Breakfast Event at Hotel Storchen Zurich. We appreciate the engaging questions and discussions from our guests. Demelza Hays, Ph.D., presented the Bitcoin Volatility Premium product and the vision behind it. The event was attended by a select group of guests, ensuring a focused and high-quality exchange of ideas and networking opportunities.
We are excited to announce that our new Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC has been featured in Bitcoin Magazine. The article titled "Mysterious 2010 Bitcoin Whale Launches Bitcoin-Only Market-Making Certificate - Navigating New Frontiers: How the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC Is Redefining Investment Strategies" provides insightful commentary on the groundbreaking innovation introduced to the market through the collaboration with the Bitcoin whale.

We are excited to introduce the latest innovation in financial products: the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC.
The Bitcoin Volatility Premium invests algorithmically in Bitcoin and US Dollars with the goal of capturing a volatility premium while optimizing the risk-return profile of Bitcoin investments and providing liquidity to the BTC/USD spot market.
With over USD 50 million in assets under management, this product is now available to external investors. Please note that it is suitable only for professional investors.

We are proud that one of our products has achieved more than 100% return for the first time. Since its inception in June 2022, the Cryptocurrency Frontier AMC has exceeded all our expectations. We specialise in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies and dive deep into the rich diversity of altcoins, with a clear focus on outperforming Bitcoin.
Two of our key principles are responsibility and self-reflection. The strategy of our actively-managed stock product, the Global Quality AMC, has not delivered the desired returns. Consequently, we have taken the decision to close the AMC.
The reasons for the closure of this product are as follows:
· The performance of Global Quality AMC was not in line with our expectations; the strategy did not work out as we had hoped. We are therefore abandoning it altogether, and focusing on strategies that are succeeding.
· After recognizing that this strategy was not working as intended, the family decided to withdraw from the Global Quality AMC. We believe that without personal involvement from the family, it would be a conflict of interest to continue offering this product to customers. Hence, we are shutting down this AMC and it will no longer be sold.
· We value our entrepreneurial culture of fostering new projects. Nevertheless, value through quality takes priority. By concluding the Global Quality AMC, we concentrate our capabilities on value-generating ventures. Sometimes less is more.
Growth, growth, growth! That was our motto for 2023 and I am proud of our team for delivering exactly that.
· Our AuM have increased by over 400%.
· Our turnover has more than doubled.
· 7 out of 9 investment opportunities that we offer our clients closed the year with a positive performance.
Like other companies, we had our challenges in 2023 and it was great to see how we overcame them one by one.For 2024, I expect the same drive and motivation to capitalise on the positive momentum.I wish everyone a relaxing festive season and a happy new year.

From my personal perspective, at Zeltner & Co. 2022 has been an incredibly successful, instructive, exciting, and interesting year that has been full of surprises.
· We have built a great environment within credibly motivated employees, very well qualified experts, reliable partners, and customers who have put their faith in us.
· We have been awarded the latest asset management licence by FINMA.
· We have launched 5 more certificates.
We have launched unique products, especially in direct/private lending and crypto. Our team can confidently say that the successful build-up is complete. The year has demanded a lot of energy and sacrifice from everyone. I am even more proud of the fact that all of us have added value throughout the year. Anyone who knows us will be aware that our motto for 2023 is to shift up another gear. Although the products Swiss Industrial Metal and Private Lending enjoyed positive and stable performance in 2022 and the Cryptocurrency Frontier AMC beat Bitcoin despite the negative mood on the markets, we are not satisfied. We want to create value for our customers with every single product. I am convinced that we have the right people, experts, and challengers to achieve this goal and I believe in the vision and conviction behind every single investment and piece of analysis.
I wish everyone a well-deserved festive season and a happy new year. Don't take too long to rest - the race goes on.
