Themes are a new type of investment for crypto investors, completely different from what they would have observed and experienced in crypto, or ETFs. Themes are based around simple-to-understand ideas and give you the most control over your investment as a user.

How does it work?

  1. After creating your own theme or subscribing to one, you place an order to buy the entire portfolio from your crypto wallet in a few clicks, thematic will then source the best prices from various decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Pancakeswap, Bancor, Sushiswap and 50+ more, you can see the transaction happen in real-time, and monitor performance.
  2. An email from thematic will tell you when a change to the portfolio is due.
  3. User logs in and clicks the ‘Rebalance’ button, and confirms the transaction. The thematic platform places the applicable buy and sell orders through various Dex’s and confirms when the transactions get executed.

What are the benefits of investing in themes?

Direct ownership & Diversification

  • A theme is a pre-tailored portfolio of crypto, tied to an idea, providing you desired exposure for it. You get direct ownership of all the crypto in the portfolio, unlike token-sets or ETF where you get units.
  • A theme is a portfolio of crypto, so they do not expose you to any company-specific risk and get all the benefits of portfolio diversification.

Greater Control

  • Unlike other investment options, thematic allows you to add or remove crypto as desired, as well as adjust the weights of the coins to suit your needs. This guarantees that a theme accurately reflects your thoughts and opinions about a topic.
  • We are non-custodial. Coins always remain in your wallet, so you have no platform risk. Even if thematic gets hacked, nothing can happen to your coins.
  • If you don’t find a theme you like, you can create your own theme and invest in it in a convenient and cost-efficient manner.

Better Tracking

  • Our platform also makes it easy to track your portfolio through customized indices, remain updated with all the news and events related to your investment, and rebalance with a simple click when your worldview changes.

In the end, thematic investing is more convenient than searching for and selecting specific cryptos. It’s a tremendous benefit to have access to such a product with a variety of ideas. However, it is the investor’s responsibility to understand enough to avoid overexposure because of unrealistic expectations and to be mindful of the costs involved. After all, it’s your money.
