Review and Comment:
The price of XRP experienced a sharp rise during last two weeks of November. As a result, NAV of our fund had depreciated 37.1% against XRP, while gaining 31.4% against USD and 33.1% against BTC at the same period. The average return during the final month is ~9.1% which is in-line with our internal target.

It's quite a coincidence that the price of XRP has come back to a level near the early-stage of XMM. The 9-month return rates represent the overall performance of XMM since its inception. The Fund had achieved an average return rate of 104.9% during its life-span.


Final Redemption:
There were 321,086 units of XMM in-circulate when we made the announcement to dissolve the Fund two weeks ago. About 80% of our holders had chosen to convert their holdings into new RXM fund, leaving only 64,749 XMM outstanding at the end.

Sufficient amount of XRP had been send out to a special account for the purpose of final redemption. An offer had been created to buy back all outstanding XMM units at price of 2.096 XRP, which is the NAV-per-unit of the Fund measured on the last day of operation (30th-Nov-2014).

The remaining assets in the Hot-wallets and Trading-accounts are now owned by RXM.

The RXM Fund.
Due the sharp rise of XRP price in the past two weeks, NAV-per-unit of the fund is currently about 40% below XRP-parity. Hence, there will be no dividend payments (and also the 1:1 buy-back) in the near future, until the fund regain its value above 1XRP.

Contrary to XMM, the new fund will no longer restrict its trades on IRBA-member gateways. Some new IOUs might be added into our portfolio, e.g. CNY.RippleFox, JPY.TokyoJPY, JPY.RippleTradeJapan, etc.

RXM is managed under Ripple Dividend. Please visit its site for future announcement and updates regarding the fund.


Acknowledgement.
Last but not least, I would like to say thanks to all XMM-holders, especially those who had shown their support since the very beginning of this project. It's your contribution that make this happen and help injecting more liquidity into Ripple ecosystem.

Thank you.

End of XMM.

As mentioned in our latest monthly report, we are thinking to convert XMM into a dividend-paying model. So, here's come the final decision.

We had decided to dissolve XMM at the end of this month. As a replacement, a new fund named RXM would be launched, under the roof of Ripple Dividend.


The New Fund.
RXM, just like other funds of Ripple Dividend, will be distributing its profit in the form of XRP-dividends.

The trading strategy of the fund will be similar to XMM -- its portfolio will spread over almost every type of assets including XRP, bitcoins, fiats, metals. However, the new fund might put more weigh into more popular currency. And there will no longer be a restriction on asset-holdings of non-IRBA members. Particularly, the new fund might start making markets for some JPY.RippleTradeJapan.

RXM will be pegged to XRP. The profit apportionment policy is similar to other funds of Ripple Dividend.


What to do.
There are two choices for the current holders of XMM:

1. Convert XMM into RXM.
An offer had been created to buy each XMM unit with 3.28 RXM, which is an approximation of XMM's net-asset-value in XRP at the time of writing. The offer will last until 30th-November-2014.

We are planning to initiate RXM with a 2.5% trading buffer. The first dividend shall be paid in December once the NAV-per-unit of the fund is higher than 1.025 XRP. Also, new units will be sold with premiums no less than 2.5%.

2. Wait for the liquidation of XMM.
We will perform a final evaluation of XMM assets on 30th-November-2014. Then an offer will be created to buy back all outstanding units with XRP, at a price equivalent to the ending NAV-per-unit.

After the liquidation process, the Hotwallet and Trading-accounts of XMM will be transferred to RXM.

Review and Comment:
During the month, NAV of our fund appreciated 5.4% against XRP and  9.9% against USD, and 24.4% against BTC. The average return rate was 13.2%, which is in-line with our internal target.

After three months of operation on Ripple Dividend, recently I'm re-considering the idea of converting XMM into a dividend-paying or simple interest-bearing fund. The exact model is yet to be finalized, and announcement would be made if there's a decision.

Review and Comment:
During the month, NAV of our fund appreciated 4.6% against XRP and  26.6% against BTC, but depreciated 0.4% against USD. The average return rate was 10.3%, which is in-line with our internal target of return rate.

XRP price was quite stable throughout the whole month. The poorer return rate compared to previous month was mainly due to the continuous fall of BTC price (about one third of our asset was allocated for BTC markets). And somehow our bots seems perform poorer when there's a directional trend in exchange-rates.

The Fund recorded an average return of 27.4% for 3-month period, and 57.8% for 6-month period ended September-2014.

For 3-months-period ended August, our fund record an average return of 21%.
Since the inception of XMM six-month ago, its value appreciated 76.2% in average.

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.

Review and Comment:
During the month, NAV of our fund dropped 22% against XRP, but appreciated 6.5% against USD and 11% against BTC. The average figure was a loss of 1.5%. For the 3-months period ended 31st-Jul, our Fund experience a loss of 5.9% in average.

July was the first full-month in which our market-making tasks were fully operated by bots. It seems that our bots were not doing well during a high-volatile period like July. One of the reasons is because our bots were configured to make-market with some minimal spreads which is not enough to cover the risk in a highly-volatile environment.

I will be keep adjusting the trading-logics and configurations of our bots to balance between providing-liquidity-to-market and making-profit-for-holders.

I had just launch a new virtual-gateway named Ripple Dividend. It could be considered an extension of XMM project -- Ripple Dividend will raise fund through issuing IOUs, try to make profit from market-making and distribute its earning to the holders in the form of XRP dividends. A portion of the gross-profit would be retained for covering the operation cost.

Contrast to XMM, Ripple Dividend will be mostly concentrating on some mature markets of low-volatility, in which our bots work better as compared to XRP-market. Its funds might be more suit to the needs of those who are uncomfortable with the high-volatility of XRP prices. The initial sales of four IOUs -- FMM, USD, CNY, BTC was launched yesterday. Please visit blog.rippledividend.com for more info.

I will be keep managing XMM in a non-profit manner. In future, XMM might be gradually switching away from some mature-markets, and giving more supports to those less-popular currency pairs.
