NEW YORK, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Monarq Asset Management (“Monarq”), a leading multi-strategy investment firm, formerly known as MNNC Group, today announced a strategic investment from FalconX, a leading institutional digital asset prime broker. The investment will accelerate Monarq’s growth as it scales its team, product offerings, and institutional client base.
With a track record dating back to 2017 and experience navigating multiple market cycles, Monarq is led by alumni from prestigious firms like LedgerPrime, Tower Research, and BlockTower. The firm deploys quantitative, delta-neutral, and directional strategies across both centralized and decentralized venues, focused on delivering consistent, risk-adjusted returns in all market conditions.
“We are pleased to welcome FalconX as a strategic investor,” said Shiliang Tang, CEO and Managing Partner of Monarq. “With FalconX’s strategic support, we are well positioned to scale our proprietary quantitative models, grow our team of portfolio managers and technologists, and bring institutional-grade asset management to a broader set of investors.”
The investment strengthens FalconX’s ability to serve clients seeking actively managed digital asset strategies and further diversifies its business lines.
“We saw a rare combination of quantitative finance and derivatives expertise in Monarq, grounded in the infrastructure and risk discipline expected of top-tier institutional managers,” said Raghu Yarlagadda, Co-Founder and CEO of FalconX. “As institutional capital allocates more meaningfully into digital assets, the search for differentiated, risk-adjusted returns is intensifying — and we believe institutions will increasingly turn to actively managed platforms as the asset class continues to mature.”
The investment comes amid a period of significant growth in the alternative investment space, with increasing allocation from institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals seeking diversified returns in a complex market environment.
