White Whale Fund

About

A fund built on structure, not speculation.

White Whale Fund is the next chapter of a five-year story — the same quantitative engine, the same operator, now re-packaged as an AI-native fund designed for a small circle of aligned investors.

Mission

Create a superior financial future through disciplined drawdown control.

Our objective is to create a better financial future for our investors by diversifying across digital assets and applying proprietary algorithmic strategies that prioritize drawdown control and capital preservation.

We believe that in crypto, returns are a function of drawdown control — not of chasing the highest possible upside. Every decision we make flows from that conviction.

Markets do not fail investors — unmanaged drawdowns do. Risk is a variable to be engineered, not a byproduct to be tolerated.

History

A five-year arc across two funds and two market cycles.

The frameworks powering White Whale Fund were built, stress-tested, and refined across two prior institutional mandates and a Friends & Family vehicle. The lineage is explicit and traceable.

  1. 2019 — 2023

    Crypto Hedge Capital Mexico

    One of the first algorithmic crypto funds in Mexico. José served as Head of Investor Relations, Head of Operations, and Managing Partner across four issues. CHC proved the thesis: in bear markets, disciplined strategies preserve capital while BTC drops fifty to seventy percent.

  2. 2022 — 2024

    Digital Hedge Capital

    A more institutionally structured follow-on fund. José acted as COO and Algorithmic Trader, simultaneously running three products — Certus, Libra and Audentis — each with a distinct risk and return profile. DHC was where the multi-product operating model was refined.

  3. 2024 — 2026

    JARE Investments

    A personal Friends & Family vehicle where ARAD went live. In 2025 JARE delivered +34.53% net while Bitcoin closed -10.43%, with a max drawdown of only -8.48%. JARE is the immediate predecessor of White Whale Fund and the source of its live track record.

  4. 2026 — Present

    White Whale Fund

    White Whale Fund inherits JARE's capital, accounts and track record, wraps them in institutional tooling, and extends the operating model to a small, curated circle of aligned investors. Same engine, same person, a purpose-built home.

Team

Two founders. Clearly divided responsibilities.

The partnership splits responsibility cleanly: strategy and operations on one side, legal and capital formation on the other.

José Andrés Ruiz Elizondo

Chief Investment Officer

Civil Engineering, ITESM

José is an engineer and entrepreneur focused on converting chaotic market inputs into reliable operational outputs. He applies the Civil Engineering mindset to capital markets: structure comes before speculation.

He designed and developed the ARAD and Orchid systems — algorithms that, across Crypto Hedge Capital, Digital Hedge Capital and JARE, have executed more than $45M in volume. In 2025 alone he delivered +34.53% net while BTC closed at -10.43%.
