Investing in digital assets
About us
Wiston Capital was established in 2023 to professionalise investment in digital assets.
Our investment process takes a qualitative approach to asset selection, which is overlaid by a proprietary risk regime model.
We believe the adoption and ownership of digital assets will expand as their utility and use cases becomes more apparent. This is being driven by the tokenisation of assets and the rapid growth of AI.
Through our free newsletter, CHAINLETTER, and educational events, we help investors improve their understanding of this new asset class.

The team
Charlie Erith
Founder, Senior Portfolio Manager
Charlie spent 25 years in institutional equity sales and fund management before embarking on a career in digital assets in 2020. He spent the first half of his career at Cazenove, where he was the Director of Institutional Sales in London. In 2006 he moved to Boyer Allan to manage long/short Asian equity portfolios. In 2012, he co-founded Stone Drum Partners where he focused on smaller companies in Asia (ex-Japan), subsequently moving to Coupland Cardiff Asset Management in 2015.
Profoundly impacted by witnessing the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis first hand – while living and working in Singapore – and the subsequent 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Charlie took a greater interest in the nature of money and capital flows. This led to a fascination with bitcoin and distributed ledger technology. Charlie also identified an opportunity to bring professional level analysis to this new asset class. This work started at ByteTree Asset Management in 2020.
Wiston Capital was founded in June 2023 to specialise in digital asset investment. Charlie is the manager of the Wiston Digital Assets Opportunities Fund (see “INVEST” in the header).
