What the job involves
- The Fund Compliance Manager will be the dedicated owner of the investment compliance function for Bitwise's expanding suite of funds (currently 33+ funds)

- Routinely monitor all investment portfolios to ensure continuous compliance with mandates, including asset type restrictions, concentration limits, leverage controls, and issuer exposure limits
- Proactively communicate with the CCO regarding any compliance matters that arise and work with the CCO to develop solutions
- Own the daily monitoring, research, and resolution of BNY-provided Compliance Issues Logs, requiring consultation with the CCO, Portfolio Management (PM) team, the Research team, and external partners (e.g., Vident, ETC) to document decisions
- As part of the Legal and Compliance team, take full ownership of translating complex fund governing documents and regulatory restrictions into precise compliance rules for new fund launches and fund amendments
- Instruct BNY Mellon on necessary compliance rule applications, review the BNY-provided Compliance Summary Matrix for fund launches, and identify/resolve any coding mistakes
- As part of the Legal and Compliance team, lead the effort to professionalize and scale compliance controls to manage a growing fund count (33+ funds), reducing reliance on PM Team for these specialized functions

Our take
Bitwise is the biggest cryptocurrency index fund manager in the world. The company buys up currencies that look promising, allowing people who are interested but wary to gain a little exposure to crypto without in-depth knowledge or major time investment.
This approach seeks to make cryptocurrency more accessible, which has rapidly attracted investors. It specializes in supporting and educating professional investors, and boasts relationships with RIAs, financial advisors and hedge funds alike.
The cryptocurrency market is still viewed as high-risk and volatile (many would say fairly), so these relationships are a demonstration of the company’s established trust. This vote of confidence and connection with traditional financial companies is invaluable for Bitwise's future as a trusted partner.
