Celfocus and 3 Comma Capital (3CC) are strengthening their collaboration through the implementation of a technological platform supporting the management of cryptocurrency investment funds, operated by the Portuguese alternative asset manager and venture capital firm.
The project began in January 2024 with the deployment of Celfocus AMS (Asset Management System). Just three months later, the 3CC Global Crypto Fund – the first alternative investment fund with exposure to crypto assets registered with the CMVM (Portuguese Securities Market Commission) and domiciled in Portugal – was launched. Since then, the partnership has grown significantly. In October 2024, 3CC launched a second fund focused on Portuguese corporate debt, complemented by US equities and alternative assets, including Bitcoin. Two additional funds are currently under preparation: one focused on fixed income and another on venture capital.
At the core of this ecosystem is Celfocus AMS, a SaaS-based digital web solution that automates and simplifies critical operations such as daily asset valuation, accounting, compliance, risk management and reporting to regulators and stakeholders. In addition, 3CC benefits from Celfocus’ Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) service, which manages all fund-related back-office tasks, allowing the investment team to focus exclusively on analysis and investment decision-making.
Celfocus AMS supports fund operations across multiple functions: from subscription and redemption registration to asset purchases and sales, fee calculations, corporate action processing, and NAV (Net Asset Value) computation. Its integrated API enables real-time data feeds to the 3CC website, including unit values, performance metrics, and benchmarks.
Digital custody is managed by Gemini Digital – a licensed operator in Europe – and Bison Bank, responsible for fiat currency custody. Crypto assets are held in cold storage with immediate availability, ensuring both security and fast access, including for staking-related operations.
Beyond traditional crypto asset management, Celfocus AMS also supports more complex digital instruments, such as crypto derivatives, including BTCGUSDPERP future contracts.

Celfocus AMS addresses all our requirements for managing liquid assets, particularly in this new investment landscape of digital assets. The Celfocus team worked closely with us and in coordination with CMVM to configure and adapt the platform for these new financial instruments. Their work enabled the launch of the 3CC Global Crypto Fund in record time – an achievement we are truly proud of for its innovation and distinction.”

Our SaaS solution, adopted by all new clients over the past three years, offers a fast and simple user experience.

This partnership highlights the transformative role of technology in asset management and reinforces Celfocus' position as a leading force in the digitalisation of the financial sector in Portugal and across Europe.
