Review and Comment:
During the month, NAV of our fund appreciated 13% against XRP,  6.4% against USD and 26.5% against BTC. The average figure was 15.2% profit.

XRP price was quite stable throughout the whole month of August. It seems that our trading bots perform quite well during this low-volatile period.

Since the inception of XMM six-month ago, its value appreciated 76.2% in average.

Others
Since the launch of RippleDividend, most of my efforts had been on the new project. Nevertheless, I will keep managing XMM in non-for-profit manner.

As a community project, XMM is always willing to allocate a significant portion of our fund for supporting less-popular currency-pairs and also new gateways. Currently we are among the top market-makers for EUR and NZD markets. Our next target would be MXN.Bitso, and maybe XAU.GBI.
