Avantgarde Finance

Avantgarde Finance has been building in DeFi since 2016, applying institutional rigour on-chain to activate idle capital and deliver sustainable, risk-adjusted returns at the digital asset frontier. The company serves leading crypto-native organisations and protocols while bridging the gap for next-generation investors looking to seize the opportunities of this new financial era.

Core Products and Services

Avantgarde operates across three main product pillars:

DeFi Vaults & Separately Managed Accounts

The company provides non-custodial, on-chain access to curated yield strategies supported by sophisticated DeFi risk monitoring and management. For clients requiring tailored SMA mandates, Avantgarde offers a non-custodial execution framework enabling multi-sig control and fine-grained roles and permissions via tools such as Zodiac, with advisory support and bespoke reporting available.

Morpho Vault Curation

Avantgarde curates a suite of Morpho vaults designed to balance capital efficiency with disciplined risk management. They offer Conservative and Dynamic vaults across ETH and USDC, deployed on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Arbitrum. The company also works with select partners to white-label bespoke Morpho vaults customized to specific assets, mandates, and risk profiles.

RWA Looping Strategies

Avantgarde structures RWA-backed looping strategies designed to enhance capital efficiency while maintaining a conservative approach to risk, built around high-quality RWA collateral and on-chain risk controls. These strategies are designed for substantial seed allocations from aligned counterparties and structured to enable revenue-sharing partnerships.

Treasury Management Services

The company provides comprehensive treasury management solutions for DAOs and Foundations, helping them optimize financial strategies, meet operational expenses, and improve long-term sustainability. Services include research and advisory, stablecoin yield optimization, actively managed treasury strategies, and real-time financial reporting, all while clients retain 100% custody of treasury funds.

DAO Governance Participation

Avantgarde acts as a governance delegate for major DAOs including Uniswap, Compound, Safe, ParaSwap, and Morpho. The team conducts thorough research and monitoring of proposals, casts informed votes, and contributes R&D to various proposals. They have participated in initiatives such as the Uniswap Bridge Assessment Committee and the Arbitrum Treasury and Sustainability Working Group.

Regulated Digital Asset Funds

Through their licensed Bahamas entity, Avantgarde launches fully regulated, tokenised digital asset funds catering to institutional and private professional investors. These funds offer strategies including actively managed baskets, stablecoin yield strategies, and tokenised real-world assets, with over $10M in assets under management.

Key Strengths

Avantgarde's team combines decades of experience in both Traditional Finance and DeFi. The leadership includes former Goldman Sachs traders, hedge fund managers from Jabre Capital and Fidelity, and deep DeFi technical expertise. The company's proven track record includes running innovative on-chain investment strategies since 2016.

All Avantgarde vaults are configured on-chain so curators cannot move funds, change strategies, or take actions beyond what investors pre-approve, ensuring non-custodial infrastructure with institutional-grade controls. The platform is infrastructure agnostic, adapting to client needs whether using Enzyme, Safe, Fireblocks, or other tools.
