— Mandate Structure
Your capital.
Your broker.
Our intelligence.
A private managed trading mandate structured to preserve client ownership and control of capital at all times. Trading authority is granted — not capital custody.
— How the Mandate Works
Six structural principles.
Client-Opened Broker Account
The client selects and opens an account with an approved broker. All account registration, KYC documentation, and onboarding procedures are completed directly between the client and the broker. We are not party to this process.
Direct Client Funding
The client funds the account directly from their own financial resources. All deposits are made by the client, to the client's account, held in the client's name. We do not receive, hold, or intermediate client funds at any stage.
Limited Power of Attorney
A Limited Power of Attorney or Letter of Authorisation is executed between the client and ourselves. This document grants us the authority to place trades within the agreed mandate parameters. It is strictly limited to trading authority.
No Withdrawal Authority
The LPOA or LOA does not include, and will never include, withdrawal authority. We cannot withdraw funds from the client's account. This is a fundamental and non-negotiable feature of the mandate structure.
Client Retains Full Control
The client retains full ownership and control of their broker account at all times. Deposits, withdrawals, account closure, and the revocation of trading authority are all within the client's sole discretion.
Mandate Parameters
The scope of trading authority — including permitted instruments, position sizing limits, and risk parameters — is agreed in advance and documented in the mandate agreement. We operate within these parameters.
— Trading Authority
Limited Power
of Attorney
A Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) or Letter of Authorisation (LOA) is a legal document that grants a third party — in this case, ourselves — the authority to act on behalf of the account holder within strictly defined parameters. In the context of a managed trading mandate, this authority is limited exclusively to placing and managing trades.
The LPOA does not grant authority to withdraw funds, transfer assets, change account details, or take any action beyond the agreed trading mandate. The client retains sole authority over all financial transactions in and out of the account.
The LPOA is executed directly with the broker and is subject to the broker's own terms, conditions, and compliance requirements. The client may revoke the LPOA at any time in accordance with the broker's procedures.
Key Point
We are granted trading authority only. We cannot withdraw funds, transfer assets, or take any action outside the agreed mandate scope. The client's capital remains under the client's control at all times.
— Optional Arrangement
Custody Transfer &
Collateral Arrangements
Subject to broker approval and eligibility assessment. Not available to all clients.
For eligible clients, certain brokers may permit the use of financial instruments — such as bonds or listed securities — as collateral or margin against a trading account. This arrangement allows clients to utilise existing financial assets without liquidating them, subject to the broker's margin and collateral requirements.
Any custody transfer or collateral arrangement is subject to the broker's approval, their specific terms and conditions, applicable regulatory requirements, and an individual suitability assessment. This is discussed during the consultation process where relevant.
This optional arrangement is not available to all clients and is not a standard feature of the mandate. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis.
— Risks & Suitability
Understanding the risks.
Capital Risk
Trading in financial instruments involves a substantial risk of loss. The value of the account may decrease as well as increase. Clients may lose some or all of their invested capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Market Risk
Financial markets are subject to significant volatility, liquidity risk, and the impact of unexpected events. Market conditions can change rapidly and without warning, potentially resulting in significant losses.
Leverage Risk
Where leverage is employed within the mandate, losses may exceed the initial capital deployed on a given position. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses and should be understood before entering into any mandate arrangement.
Suitability
The managed trading mandate is not suitable for all investors. Prospective clients should carefully consider their financial circumstances, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon before applying. Independent financial advice is recommended.
Suitability Statement
The managed trading mandate is intended for sophisticated investors who understand the risks associated with trading in financial instruments and who have the financial capacity to sustain potential losses. A suitability assessment is conducted as part of the consultation process. We reserve the right to decline any application that does not meet our suitability criteria. Prospective clients are strongly encouraged to seek independent legal, financial, and regulatory advice before entering into any mandate arrangement.
