Frequently Asked Questions


Why options-based investing ?

Using options, we create a "synthetic" exposure to the underlying asset-class. Historically, this methodology has proven to produce better investment outcome. We define "better" as:-
1. Reduced risk/volatility
2. Higher returns

Aren't options risky? Can you not loose more than your principal?

Like with many things, options can be risky depending on how they are used. We use options to gain exposure to the underlying asset. While options offer leverage, if you do not use that leverage, then in most circumstances you will do no worse than the underlying market, and in most cases, you should do better. We mostly sell options, buying only to close already opened positions.

What are your fees?

We offer two fee structures:

  • Asset-based: A fixed percentage of the asset you place under our management
  • Performance-based: A fixed percentage of the profits (subject to a highwater mark). You must meet the criteria of a "high net worth individual" as defined by the SEC to select this option.

What broker/custodian do you use?

We we work with any broker or custodian you choose. If you don't have a preferred firm, we recommend InteractiveBrokers.
