Lyons Launches Lyons CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index SMA

Award-Winning Wealth Advisor, Confident in Crypto


Covered Call Strategy

FLORIDA, February 7, 2023 - Lyons Wealth Management, a recognized top-ranking Wealth Advisor, Asset Manager and Portfolio Manager* with a proven track record of launching multiple award-winning portfolio strategies, today announced the availability of the first large-cap crypto index on their platform.

Lyons Wealth Management clients can now access digital assets in a secure and transparent manner through the Lyons CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index SMA. Lyons has partnered with CoinDesk Indices, the leading provider of digital asset indices, and Height Zero, a cutting-edge, turn-key digital asset management platform (TDAMP) to deliver this solution to their clients.

"We believe in responsible portfolio allocations to digital assets, and that now is an opportunity" said Sander Read, CEO, Lyons Wealth Management LLC. "Through this index exposure, we can now offer clients access to a thoughtfully designed, diversified basket."

The underlying index is the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index (DLCS), which is designed to measure the market capitalization weighted performance of some of the largest and most liquid digital assets that meet pre-defined trading and custody requirements as specified in the documented methodology. As of January 4, 2023, DLCS consisted of the following assets: Cardano (ADA), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL).

"DLCS offers a simple exposure into crypto beyond bitcoin with confidence that the altcoins meet our standard of quality intended for tradability." said Jodie Gunzberg, CFA, Managing Director, CoinDesk Indices. "In fact, the index rules eliminated FTT from all of our indices initially since it wasn't priced by at least two eligible exchanges."

These digital assets will be managed through HeightZero, a technology solution that allows financial advisors to easily provide their clients direct exposure to crypto assets. HeightZero is integrated with BitGo, a leader in digital asset security, custody and liquidity. Assets held at BitGo Trust are kept in institutional-grade, offline storage accounts to ensure the safety and security of client funds.

"Even with the downturn in the markets over the past 12 months, we're still seeing continued investor demand for safe, diversified exposure to the crypto ecosystem", said AJ Nary, Co-Founder, of HeightZero. "Rather than trying to pick and choose specific coins and tokens, financial advisors can now access a thoughtfully designed, diversified portfolio of assets via a singular framework."
