Who we are?
We are a small team of traders with over 10 years of experience who joined together to create an investment product for private clients.
How do I join?
If you are on this website right now then it's good news as we have already invited you to join us, contact us for more info. As this is a private fund, we are not looking to introduce publicly to everyone so we are keeping this as a private investment syndicate for selected clients.
What is your trading strategy?
Our trading strategy is a mixture of hedging and scalping. We hedge some currency pairs to protect sudden movements in the market such as market crashes/flash crashes and we scalp currencies pairs in between hedges.
Is my money safe?
One thing that we will never be able to do is access your funds. Your money will be deposited into a broker account in your name and only you can withdraw your money to accounts in your name only. We don't need your log in details for your broker account so please don't share that with us. For us to trade, we only require you to authorise to follow our master account and the platform we use will copy our trades over accordingly. The platform will handle and pay us the fee automatically every month and only deduct the fees (30% of net profit each month, nothing more).
What are the risks?
When it comes to Forex and Trading, everyone is usually scared of the risks involved as over 80% of retail traders lose money. We won't tell you that you cannot lose all your money as anything can happen in trading but we can confidently say that we have traded for many years and back tested our strategy used for this investment product and have a profitable product in the long run. Please treat this investment as you would with an ISA or a saving account and let us trade it for you over a medium/long term.
What is the minimum investment amount?
The minimum investment is £3,000.
What is the minimum investment period?
The minimum investment period is 6 months, we would advise you to only invest funds that you can do without for a minimum of 6 months. Although we say there is a minimum investment time of 6 months, you will always be in control of your account and funds so you can always take out your funds if you really wanted to but you will not benefit from the maximal gains as hedge trades can take a while to make profits.
What is the commission rate?
We charge a flat rate of 30% commission on net profit made on your account which is charged every month. You will not be charged if we have a negative month and you will not be charged commission again until we make profit past the previous paid equity level. Fees are handled automatically by the platform we use, it will calculate the net profit made that month and deduct 30% and 70% net profit will be left in your account and it's your choice to let it accumulate or withdraw it, we recommend to let it accumulate for a minimum of 6 months before withdrawing funds.

How do I withdraw my funds?
You can withdraw funds from your trading account via your IC Markets dashboard. Withdrawals must go back to the original depositing method due to anti money laundering regulations. We would advise to withdraw no more than 20% of your account at a time as the open trades will be opened at the higher balance so when you withdraw, your account balance will go down and it will cause bigger drawdown percentages. Please contact us for advice when withdrawing larger amounts.
