How Crossgate Capital Is Opening The Door To Crypto Assets
While cryptocurrency platforms have made it possible to buy digital assets for small amounts, some New Zealanders still find it difficult to access a professionally managed, diversified portfolio without navigating multiple exchanges and platforms themselves.
Scott Lester, Director at Crossgarte Capital says that is the gap Crossgate Capital was designed to fill. "You can buy Bitcoin for $50 on an exchange, but building and managing a diversified portfolio across multiple digital assets is a different proposition," he says. "We cater for all types of investors, from those starting with as little as $100 through to larger investors looking for meaningful exposure. What they all get is the same professionally managed, diversified portfolio with institutional-grade storage."
That accessibility is deliberate. Crossgate Capital was established to give New Zealand investors a straightforward way to gain exposure to digital assets through a single, managed investment. Rather than requiring investors to navigate exchanges, wallets and storage themselves, the company handles portfolio construction, secure storage and ongoing management on their behalf.
"We wanted to remove the barriers," Lester says. "An investor does not need to understand how to buy thirteen different cryptocurrencies across multiple platforms. They invest with us, and we manage the portfolio professionally."
Crossgate Capital invests in a diversified portfolio of digital assets, including established cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside carefully selected altcoins across multiple categories and sectors within the digital asset ecosystem.
The company's financial statements are audited, providing independent verification of the company’s financial position. Investors receive both quarterly and annual reports.
How to invest with Crossgate Capital
Crossgate Capital is a New Zealand company and a registered financial service provider. Investors can apply directly through the company's website at www.crossgatecapital.co.nz, where the Product Disclosure Statement and application form is available. The minimum investment is $100.
Crossgate Capital has been investing in crypto since 2019. All digital assets held on behalf of investors are stored with BitGo, a leader in providing purpose-built institutional storage for crypto assets.
"Crossgate was designed for Kiwis who want exposure to crypto but don't want to set up exchange accounts, manage wallets, figure out what to buy, or try to keep up with a market that moves around the clock," Lester says. "You invest through a New Zealand company, your assets are held in cold storage and you receive audited financial results. We handle the complexity."
It is this breadth of digital assets, extending well beyond Bitcoin, that underpins the investment approach at Crossgate Capital. Lester says, “Why put all your eggs in one Bitcoin basket? Crossgate Capital invests across categories and sectors, because crypto is more than one coin”.
