Eligibility criteria

These are the published criteria the review applies, with no additional hidden conditions.

When you apply

The strategy is listed
Approved for listing and shown in the marketplace under a codename
Identity verification is complete
An unverified application goes through verification first

When it is deployed live

The deployed version has a successful backtest
Backtesting v1 and deploying an unproven v2 will not start
The instrument is on the allowlist
With no allowlist configured, nothing is tradeable

Performance fee

Gains are shared with you at the agreed rate and losses are not clawed back. What you commit is the strategy and your time, not the capital.

The performance fee rate is 20% – 30%. It is agreed with you when the amount is approved and is not adjusted while the programme runs.

    No gain, no fee

    Charged only on the amount above the capital invested, and settled once at exit.

    A fixed rate

    Agreed when the amount is approved, and not adjusted while the programme runs.

Intellectual property and custody

Your strategy

  • The intellectual property in the strategy is entirely yours; the platform never asserts ownership of it
  • Code is private by default, and platform staff have no right to view it
  • Where a technical investigation genuinely requires access, your explicit prior authorisation is required
  • The platform earns from performance-fee share and subscriptions: the better your strategy runs the more it earns, so nothing in that structure gives it a reason to touch your code

The capital you manage

  • Third-party custody, segregated from platform funds
  • One segregated sub-account per strategy
  • The sub-account cannot withdraw, and that is verified before every start
  • A top-up may be proposed while the strategy runs; it takes effect only once you confirm, and you may decline

The detail, and common questions

Is a live record required before applying?
No. Applying only asks that the strategy is listed and your identity is verified. The deployed version does need a successful backtest before it goes live, which is what protects the capital already running.
If the strategy loses money, do I bear it?
The downside sits with the investor and your share for that programme is zero. The settlement is on record, though, and later applications are read against it.
Does the capital land in my own account?
No. It stays in a segregated custodied sub-account throughout. What you get is permission to trade, never permission to withdraw.
Can several of my strategies hold allocations at once?
Yes, but any one strategy can have only one live allocation at a time.
How much capital can one strategy get?
There is no preset size. The review sets an amount on the strategy itself, case by case. You state the size you are after when you apply — it informs the review rather than deciding it — and once an amount is approved and written into the programme, that is what both sides work to.
How long does a review take?
Reviews are handled case by case; the outcome and its reasons reach you as an in-app notification, and you can reapply after addressing them.
Where the capital comes from

In the current stage a family office invests its own capital directly: a PM builds and validates a strategy on the platform, applies for a direct allocation, and — once the review sets an amount — the capital runs in a segregated sub-account under platform custody.

How the two figures relate

The programme figure is the total capital earmarked for the programme, not the amount a single strategy receives. Each strategy's amount is set case by case by the review; the proprietary allocation range shown on the home page is what a single strategy holds live today. One is the size of the pool, the other is where one strategy currently sits.

From idea to funded

Each step has an explicit bar to clear.

  1. 01Build the strategyTurn your read of the market into a runnable strategy on the platform, and backtest it.
  2. 02Get listedSubmit for listing; once approved the strategy appears in the marketplace under a codename.
  3. 03Apply for an allocationComplete identity verification, then apply for a direct allocation on a listed strategy.
  4. 04Review sets the amountThe family office review sets the amount. A rejection comes with reasons, and you can apply again after addressing them.
  5. 05Run live, then settleCapital moves into a custodied sub-account and trades; at exit a settlement statement is issued and the revenue share is applied.
Limits that apply the whole time it runs

Every one of these is checked by the system before an order goes out. None of them depends on someone watching, and none of them varies by programme.

  • Per-order capOrder notional is capped; anything beyond is refused.
  • Leverage ceilingLeverage is capped by platform policy, below what the venue itself would allow.
  • Repeated failures park itAfter a set number of consecutive failures the deployment stops and waits for a human.
  • One account, one strategyA custodied sub-account runs one strategy at a time, so nothing crosses over.

About this page

This page describes programme rules. It is not a funding commitment, and it is neither investment advice nor an offer. Any allocation amount, start date and condition is decided case by case after diligence and review.

Risk warning and disclaimer

Quantitative strategies carry drawdown and decay risk, and past performance does not indicate future results. The amounts, rates and conditions on this page describe programme rules and may be adjusted as the platform's arrangements change. An actual allocation follows the review's decision and the agreement between the parties; nothing here is a funding commitment, investment advice or an offer to anyone.
