STOCKHOLM, SE / ACCESS Newswire / January 21, 2026 / Hilbert Group AB ("Hilbert Group" or the "Company")(STO:HILB-B)(FRA:999) today announces that the systematic trading platform Enigma, which was recently acquired by the Group, achieved a return of +102% during 2025. The result was generated through market-neutral statistical arbitrage trading in a year marked by challenging conditions in the cryptocurrency market.
The return was achieved through high-frequency, systematic trading focused on short-term pricing inefficiencies in liquid crypto markets. During the same period, Bitcoin-the largest cryptocurrency-recorded a negative return of -6.3%, clearly demonstrating Enigma's low exposure to broader market movements. The strategy's correlation to Bitcoin was negative and amounted to -0.09 for the year.
During 2025, Enigma's trading platform executed transactions corresponding to a total trading volume of more than SEK 50 billion. This volume reflects the platform's technical capacity and scalability relative to the capital deployed in the strategies. Against this backdrop, the Company assesses that there are very good conditions to allocate tens of millions of US dollars to already established strategies without major obstacles, and significantly larger amounts when the strategies are utilized across Hilbert's other products.
Russell Thompson, Chief Investment Officer of Hilbert Group, comments:
"The result confirms the strength of Enigma's market-neutral and systematic strategy, which has shown resilience even during periods of difficult market conditions. The acquisition has added complementary trading capabilities that contribute to a more diversified portfolio structure for the Group."
Russell Thompson continues:
"In 2026, the focus will be on scaling the business in a disciplined manner, further integrating the strategies into the Group's overall portfolio, and developing repeatable and long-term sustainable sources of return."
