Why Rossum?
In 1920, Karel Čapek wrote a play in Prague that changed the world — and gave it a new word.
From R.U.R. to Rossum Capital
'Robot' comes from Czech and described machines created to work. A century later, we founded Rossum Capital in Prague. Our 'robots' are algorithms — systematic strategies designed for one purpose: generating returns.
Most actively managed funds underperform the market over time. The reason is simple: in efficient markets, it's hard to find an edge. Without one, active trades are on average unprofitable — fees and spreads slowly but surely cost you money. For most people, it makes more sense not to trade actively, but to passively hold a diversified portfolio and benefit from the market's long-term risk premium.
What if there's a better way? Cryptocurrency markets are young and less efficient. Systematic inefficiencies exist here — patterns that repeat, structural pressures in derivatives markets, irrational participant behavior. These inefficiencies create opportunities for strategies with positive expected returns. Our strategies also capture risk premium in these markets — but they do it more efficiently than passive holding. Moreover, they generate alpha: returns beyond what mere market exposure would deliver.
